Last night at a media party during OSCON and Ubuntu Live 2007,
Intel had announced the release of Intel Threading Building Blocks 2.0,
which marks the GPLv2 open-source availability of the code. James
Reinders had made this presentation going through a look at multi-core
processors and parallel programming followed by this announcement. To
drive interest in TBB 2.0, Intel has announced an open-source
competition for integrating TBB into open-source projects where you can
win a multi-core laptop. With the Intel party just ending a few hours
ago, we have enclosed many of Reinders' slides and we will be sharing
more information shortly. One extra tid-bit is that Intel is working
with multiple (yet to be named) game developers on integrating Threading
Building Blocks 2.0. Several distributions will also be shipping Intel's
TBB 2.0.
Check it out
