Intel's Threading Build Blocks becomes open-source

Posted: (EET/GMT+2)

 

Intel Software announced two days ago that its commercial Threading Building Blocks (TBB) product has been made available as an open-source project. A new web site has been formed to host the source code, and versions now exist for Windows, Linux and Mac under the GPL license version 2 with the "runtime exception".

From Windows compilers, Microsoft Visual C++ version 2003 and 2005 (7.1 and 8.0) are supported. Download your copy of the TBB package here.
