The list of most significant changes made over time in
|
||
|
Intel(R) Threading Building Blocks (Intel(R) TBB).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Intel TBB 4.4 Update 3
|
||
|
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 9003
|
||
|
|
||
|
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.4 Update 2):
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Modified parallel_sort to not require a default constructor for values
|
||
|
and to use iter_swap() for value swapping.
|
||
|
- Added support for creating or initializing a task_arena instance that
|
||
|
is connected to the arena currently used by the thread.
|
||
|
- graph/binpack example modified to use multifunction_node.
|
||
|
- For performance analysis, use Intel(R) VTune(TM) Amplifier XE 2015
|
||
|
and higher; older versions are no longer supported.
|
||
|
- Improved support for compilation with disabled RTTI, by omitting its use
|
||
|
in auxiliary code, such as assertions. However some functionality,
|
||
|
particularly the flow graph, does not work if RTTI is disabled.
|
||
|
- The tachyon example for Android* can be built using Android Studio 1.5
|
||
|
and higher with experimental Gradle plugin 0.4.0.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Preview Features:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Added class opencl_subbufer that allows using OpenCL* sub-buffer
|
||
|
objects with opencl_node.
|
||
|
- Class global_control supports the value of 1 for
|
||
|
max_allowed_parallelism.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Bugs fixed:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Fixed a race causing "TBB Warning: setaffinity syscall failed" message.
|
||
|
- Fixed a compilation issue on OS X* with Intel(R) C++ Compiler 15.0.
|
||
|
- Fixed a bug in queuing_rw_mutex::downgrade() that could temporarily
|
||
|
block new readers.
|
||
|
- Fixed speculative_spin_rw_mutex to stop using the lazy subscription
|
||
|
technique due to its known flaws.
|
||
|
- Fixed memory leaks in the tool support code.
|
||
|
|
||
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
Intel TBB 4.4 Update 2
|
||
|
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 9002
|
||
|
|
||
|
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.4 Update 1):
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Improved interoperability with Intel(R) OpenMP RTL (libiomp) on Linux:
|
||
|
OpenMP affinity settings do not affect the default number of threads
|
||
|
used in the task scheduler. Intel(R) C++ Compiler 16.0 Update 1
|
||
|
or later is required.
|
||
|
- Added a new flow graph example with different implementations of the
|
||
|
Cholesky Factorization algorithm.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Preview Features:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Added template class opencl_node to the flow graph API. It allows a
|
||
|
flow graph to offload computations to OpenCL* devices.
|
||
|
- Extended join_node to use type-specified message keys. It simplifies
|
||
|
the API of the node by obtaining message keys via functions
|
||
|
associated with the message type (instead of node ports).
|
||
|
- Added static_partitioner that minimizes overhead of parallel_for and
|
||
|
parallel_reduce for well-balanced workloads.
|
||
|
- Improved template class async_node in the flow graph API to support
|
||
|
user settable concurrency limits.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Bugs fixed:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Fixed a possible crash in the GUI layer for library examples on Linux.
|
||
|
|
||
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
Intel TBB 4.4 Update 1
|
||
|
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 9001
|
||
|
|
||
|
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.4):
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Added support for Microsoft* Visual Studio* 2015.
|
||
|
- Intel TBB no longer performs dynamic replacement of memory allocation
|
||
|
functions for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and earlier versions.
|
||
|
- For GCC 4.7 and higher, the intrinsics-based platform isolation layer
|
||
|
uses __atomic_* built-ins instead of the legacy __sync_* ones.
|
||
|
This change is inspired by a contribution from Mathieu Malaterre.
|
||
|
- Improvements in task_arena:
|
||
|
Several application threads may join a task_arena and execute tasks
|
||
|
simultaneously. The amount of concurrency reserved for application
|
||
|
threads at task_arena construction can be set to any value between
|
||
|
0 and the arena concurrency limit.
|
||
|
- The fractal example was modified to demonstrate class task_arena
|
||
|
and moved to examples/task_arena/fractal.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Bugs fixed:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Fixed a deadlock during destruction of task_scheduler_init objects
|
||
|
when one of destructors is set to wait for worker threads.
|
||
|
- Added a workaround for a possible crash on OS X* when dynamic memory
|
||
|
allocator replacement (libtbbmalloc_proxy) is used and memory is
|
||
|
released during application startup.
|
||
|
- Usage of mutable functors with task_group::run_and_wait() and
|
||
|
task_arena::enqueue() is disabled. An attempt to pass a functor
|
||
|
which operator()() is not const will produce compilation errors.
|
||
|
- Makefiles and environment scripts now properly recognize GCC 5.0 and
|
||
|
higher.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Open-source contributions integrated:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Improved performance of parallel_for_each for inputs allowing random
|
||
|
access, by Raf Schietekat.

||
|
|
||
|
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.3 Update 6):
|
||
|
|
||
|
- The following features are now fully supported:
|
||
|
tbb::flow::composite_node;
|
||
|
additional policies of tbb::flow::graph_node::reset().
|
||
|
- Platform abstraction layer for Windows* OS updated to use compiler
|
||
|
intrinsics for most atomic operations.
|
||
|
- The tbb/compat/thread header updated to automatically include
|
||
|
C++11 <thread> where available.
|
||
|
- Fixes and refactoring in the task scheduler and class task_arena.
|
||
|
- Added key_matching policy to tbb::flow::join_node, which removes
|
||
|
the restriction on the type that can be compared-against.
|
||
|
- For tag_matching join_node, tag_value is redefined to be 64 bits
|
||
|
wide on all architectures.
|
||
|
- Expanded the documentation for the flow graph with details about
|
||
|
node semantics and behavior.
|
||
|
- Added dynamic replacement of C11 standard function aligned_alloc()
|
||
|
under Linux* OS.
|
||
|
- Added C++11 move constructors and assignment operators to
|
||
|
tbb::enumerable_thread_specific container.
|
||
|
- Added hashing support for tbb::tbb_thread::id.
|
||
|
- On OS X*, binaries that depend on libstdc++ are not provided anymore.
|
||
|
In the makefiles, libc++ is now used by default; for building with
|
||
|
libstdc++, specify stdlib=libstdc++ in the make command line.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Preview Features:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Added a new example, graph/fgbzip2, that shows usage of
|
||
|
tbb::flow::async_node.
|
||
|
- Modification to the low-level API for memory pools:
|
||
|
added a function for finding a memory pool by an object allocated
|
||
|
from that pool.
|
||
|
- tbb::memory_pool now does not request memory till the first allocation
|
||
|
from the pool.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Changes affecting backward compatibility:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Internal layout of flow graph nodes has changed; recompilation is
|
||
|
recommended for all binaries that use the flow graph.
|
||
|
- Resetting a tbb::flow::source_node will immediately activate it,
|
||
|
unless it was created in inactive state.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Bugs fixed:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Failure at creation of a memory pool will not cause process
|
||
|
termination anymore.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Open-source contributions integrated:
|
||
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
||
|
Preview Features:

- concurrent_unordered_{set,map} behaves correctly for degenerate
|
||
|
hashes.

Bugs fixed:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- scalable_allocator now throws the std::bad_alloc exception on
|
||
|
allocation failure.
|
||
|
- Fixed a race condition in the memory allocator that may lead to
|
||
|
excessive memory consumption under high multithreading load.
|
||
|
- A new scheduler created right after destruction of the previous one
|
||
|
might be unable to modify the number of worker threads.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Open-source contributions integrated:

Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.3 Update 3):
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Added a C++11 variadic constructor for enumerable_thread_specific.

|
||
|
successor lists, affecting copy_predecessors and copy_successors
|
||
|
methods.
|

|
||
|
affinity_partitioner since version 4.2 Update 4, became a formal
|
||
|
extension of the Range concept.
|
||
|
- More checks for an incorrect address to release added to the debug

|
Changes affecting backward compatibility:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- For compatibility with C++11 standard, copy and move constructors and
|

Intel TBB 4.2 Update 4
|
||
|
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 7004
|
||
|
|
||
|
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.2 Update 3):
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Added possibility to specify floating-point settings at invocation
|
||
|
of most parallel algorithms (including flow::graph) via
|
||
|
task_group_context.
|
||
|
- Added dynamic replacement of malloc_usable_size() under
|
||
|
Linux*/Android* and dlmalloc_usable_size() under Android*.
|
||
|
- Added new methods to concurrent_vector:
|
||
|
grow_by() that appends a sequence between two given iterators;
|
||
|
grow_to_at_least() that initializes new elements with a given value.
|
||
|
- Improved affinity_partitioner for better performance on balanced
|
||
|
workloads.
|
||
|
- Improvements in the task scheduler, including better scalability
|
||
|
when threads search for a task arena, and better diagnostics.
|
||
|
- Improved allocation performance for workloads that do intensive
|
||
|
allocation/releasing of same-size objects larger than ~8KB from
|
||
|
multiple threads.
|
||
|
- Exception support is enabled by default for 32-bit MinGW compilers.
|
||
|
- The tachyon example for Android* can be built for all targets
|
||
|
supported by the installed NDK.
|
||
|
- Added Windows Store* version of the tachyon example.

|
||
|
- Removed task_scheduler_observer::on_scheduler_leaving() callback.
|
||
|
- Added task_scheduler_observer::may_sleep() callback.
|
||
|
- The CPF or_node has been renamed indexer_node. The input to
|
||
|
indexer_node is now a list of types. The output of indexer_node is
|
||
|
a tagged_msg type composed of a tag and a value. For indexer_node,
|
||
|
the tag is a size_t.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Bugs fixed:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Fixed data races in preview extensions of task_scheduler_observer.
|
||
|
- Added noexcept(false) for destructor of task_group_base to avoid
|
||
|
crash on cancelation of structured task group in C++11.

|
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 7001
|
||
|
|
||
|
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.2):
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Added project files for Microsoft* Visual Studio* 2010.
|
||
|
- Initial support of Microsoft* Visual Studio* 2013 Preview.
|
||
|
- Enable C++11 features available in Intel(R) C++ Compiler 14.0.
|
||
|
- scalable_allocation_mode(TBBMALLOC_SET_SOFT_HEAP_LIMIT, <size>) can be
|
||
|
used to urge releasing memory from tbbmalloc internal buffers when
|
||
|
the given limit is exceeded.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Preview Features:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Class task_arena no longer requires linking with a preview library,
|
||
|
though still remains a community preview feature.
|
||
|
- The method task_arena::wait_until_empty() is removed.
|
||
|
- The method task_arena::current_slot() now returns -1 if
|
||
|
the task scheduler is not initialized in the thread.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Changes affecting backward compatibility:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Because of changes in internal layout of graph nodes, the namespace
|
||
|
interface number of flow::graph has been incremented from 6 to 7.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Bugs fixed:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Fixed a race in lazy initialization of task_arena.
|
||
|
- Fixed flow::graph::reset() to prevent situations where tasks would be
|
||

Intel TBB 4.2
|
||
|
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 7000
|
||
|
|
||
|
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.1 Update 4):
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Added speculative_spin_mutex, which uses Intel(R) Transactional
|
||
|
Synchronization Extensions when they are supported by hardware.
|
||
|
- Binary files linked with libc++ (the C++ standard library in Clang)
|
||
|
were added on OS X*.
|
||
|
- For OS X* exact exception propagation is supported with Clang;
|
||
|
it requires use of libc++ and corresponding Intel TBB binaries.
|
||
|
- Support for C++11 initializer lists in constructor and assigment
|
||
|
has been added to concurrent_hash_map, concurrent_unordered_set,
|
||
|
concurrent_unordered_multiset, concurrent_unordered_map,
|
||
|
concurrent_unordered_multimap.
|
||
|
- The memory allocator may now clean its per-thread memory caches
|
||
|
when it cannot get more memory.
|
||
|
- Added the scalable_allocation_command() function for on-demand
|
||
|
cleaning of internal memory caches.
|
||
|
- Reduced the time overhead for freeing memory objects smaller than ~8K.
|
||
|
- Simplified linking with the debug library for applications that use
|
||
|
Intel TBB in code offloaded to Intel(R) Xeon Phi(tm) coprocessors.
|
||
|
See an example in
|
||
|
examples/GettingStarted/sub_string_finder/Makefile.
|
||
|
- Various improvements in source code, scripts and makefiles.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Changes affecting backward compatibility:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- tbb::flow::graph has been modified to spawn its tasks;
|
||
|
the old behaviour (task enqueuing) is deprecated. This change may
|
||
|
impact applications that expected a flow graph to make progress
|
||
|
without calling wait_for_all(), which is no longer guaranteed. See
|
||
|
the documentation for more details.
|
||
|
- Changed the return values of the scalable_allocation_mode() function.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Bugs fixed:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Fixed a leak of parallel_reduce body objects when execution is
|
||
|
cancelled or an exception is thrown, as suggested by Darcy Harrison.
|
||
|
- Fixed a race in the task scheduler which can lower the effective
|
||
|
priority despite the existence of higher priority tasks.
|
||
|
- On Linux an error during destruction of the internal thread local
|
||
|
storage no longer results in an exception.
|
||
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
||
|
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.1 Update 3):
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Use /volatile:iso option with VS 2012 to disable extended
|
||
|
semantics for volatile variables.
|
||
|
- Various improvements in affinity_partitioner, scheduler,
|
||
|
tests, examples, makefiles.
|
||
|
- Concurrent_priority_queue class now supports initialization/assignment
|
||
|
via C++11 initializer list feature (std::initializer_list<T>).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Bugs fixed:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Fixed more possible stalls in concurrent invocations of
|
||
|
task_arena::execute(), especially waiting for enqueued tasks.
|
||
|
- Fixed requested number of workers for task_arena(P,0).
|
||
|
- Fixed interoperability with Intel(R) VTune(TM) Amplifier XE in
|
||
|
case of using task_arena::enqueue() from a terminating thread.

|
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 6103
|
||
|
|
||
|
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.1 Update 2):
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Binary files for Android* applications were added to the Linux* OS
|
||
|
package.
|
||
|
- Binary files for Windows Store* applications were added to the
|
||
|
Windows* OS package.
|
||
|
- Exact exception propagation (exception_ptr) support on Linux OS is
|
||
|
now turned on by default for GCC 4.4 and higher.
|
||
|
- Stopped implicit use of large memory pages by tbbmalloc (Linux-only).
|
||
|
Now use of large pages must be explicitly enabled with
|
||
|
scalable_allocation_mode() function or TBB_MALLOC_USE_HUGE_PAGES
|
||
|
environment variable.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Community Preview Features:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Extended class task_arena constructor and method initialize() to
|
||
|
allow some concurrency to be reserved strictly for application
|
||
|
threads.
|
||
|
- New methods terminate() and is_active() were added to class
|
||
|
task_arena.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Bugs fixed:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Fixed initialization of hashing helper constant in the hash
|
||
|
containers.
|
||
|
- Fixed possible stalls in concurrent invocations of
|
||
|
task_arena::execute() when no worker thread is available to make
|
||
|
progress.
|
||
|
- Fixed incorrect calculation of hardware concurrency in the presence
|
||
|
of inactive processor groups, particularly on systems running
|
||
|
Windows* 8 and Windows* Server 2012.

Intel TBB 4.1 Update 2
|
||
|
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 6102
|
||
|
|
||
|
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.1 Update 1):
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Objects up to 128 MB are now cached by the tbbmalloc. Previously
|
||
|
the threshold was 8MB. Objects larger than 128 MB are still
|
||
|
processed by direct OS calls.
|
||
|
- concurrent_unordered_multiset and concurrent_unordered_multimap
|
||
|
have been added, based on Microsoft* PPL prototype.
|
||
|
- Ability to value-initialize a tbb::atomic<T> variable on construction
|
||
|
in C++11, with const expressions properly supported.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Community Preview Features:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Added a possibility to wait until all worker threads terminate.
|
||
|
This is necessary before calling fork() from an application.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Bugs fixed:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Fixed data race in tbbmalloc that might lead to memory leaks
|
||
|
for large object allocations.
|
||
|
- Fixed task_arena::enqueue() to use task_group_context of target arena.
|
||
|
- Improved implementation of 64 bit atomics on ia32.

Intel TBB 4.1 Update 1
|
||
|
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 6101
|
||
|
|
||
|
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.1):
|
||
|
|
||
|
- concurrent_vector class now supports initialization/assignment
|
||
|
via C++11 initializer list feature (std::initializer_list<T>)
|
||
|
- Added implementation of the platform isolation layer based on
|
||
|
Intel compiler atomic built-ins; it is supposed to work on
|
||
|
any platform supported by compiler version 12.1 and newer.
|
||
|
- Using GetNativeSystemInfo() instead of GetSystemInfo() to support
|
||
|
more than 32 processors for 32-bit applications under WOW64.
|
||
|
- The following form of parallel_for:
|
||
|
parallel_for(first, last, [step,] f[, context]) now accepts an
|
||
|
optional partitioner parameter after the function f.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Backward-incompatible API changes:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- The library no longer injects tuple in to namespace std.
|
||
|
In previous releases, tuple was injected into namespace std by
|
||
|
flow_graph.h when std::tuple was not available. In this release,
|
||
|
flow_graph.h now uses tbb::flow::tuple. On platforms where
|
||
|
std::tuple is available, tbb::flow::tuple is typedef'ed to
|
||
|
std::tuple. On all other platforms, tbb::flow::tuple provides
|
||
|
a subset of the functionality defined by std::tuple. Users of
|
||
|
flow_graph.h may need to change their uses of std::tuple to
|
||
|
tbb::flow::tuple to ensure compatibility with non-C++11 compliant
|
||
|
compilers.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Bugs fixed:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Fixed local observer to be able to override propagated CPU state and
|
||
|
to provide correct value of task_arena::current_slot() in callbacks.

Intel TBB 4.1
|
||
|
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 6100
|
||
|
|
||
|
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.0 Update 5):
|
||
|
|
||
|
- _WIN32_WINNT must be set to 0x0501 or greater in order to use TBB
|
||
|
on Microsoft* Windows*.
|
||
|
- parallel_deterministic_reduce template function is fully supported.
|
||
|
- TBB headers can be used with C++0x/C++11 mode (-std=c++0x) of GCC
|
||
|
and Intel(R) Compiler.
|
||
|
- C++11 std::make_exception_ptr is used where available, instead of
|
||
|
std::copy_exception from earlier C++0x implementations.
|
||
|
- Improvements in the TBB allocator to reduce extra memory consumption.
|
||
|
- Partial refactoring of the task scheduler data structures.
|
||
|
- TBB examples allow more flexible specification of the thread number,
|
||
|
including arithmetic and geometric progression.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Bugs fixed:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- On Linux & OS X*, pre-built TBB binaries do not yet support exact
|
||
|
exception propagation via C++11 exception_ptr. To prevent run time
|
||
|
errors, by default TBB headers disable exact exception propagation
|
||
|
even if the C++ implementation provides exception_ptr.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Community Preview Features:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Added: class task_arena, for work submission by multiple application
|
||
|
threads with thread-independent control of concurrency level.
|
||
|
- Added: task_scheduler_observer can be created as local to a master
|
||
|
thread, to observe threads that work on behalf of that master.
|
||
|
Local observers may have new on_scheduler_leaving() callback.

Intel TBB 4.0 Update 5
|
||
|
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 6005
|
||
|
|
||
|
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.0 Update 4):
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Parallel pipeline optimization (directly storing small objects in the
|
||
|
interstage data buffers) limited to trivially-copyable types for
|
||
|
C++11 and a short list of types for earlier compilers.
|
||
|
- _VARIADIC_MAX switch is honored for TBB tuple implementation
|
||
|
and flow::graph nodes based on tuple.
|
||
|
- Support of Cocoa framework was added to the GUI examples on OS X*
|
||
|
systems.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Bugs fixed:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Fixed a tv_nsec overflow bug in condition_variable::wait_for.
|
||
|
- Fixed execution order of enqueued tasks with different priorities.
|
||
|
- Fixed a bug with task priority changes causing lack of progress
|
||
|
for fire-and-forget tasks when TBB was initialized to use 1 thread.
|
||
|
- Fixed duplicate symbol problem when linking multiple compilation
|
||
|
units that include flow_graph.h on VC 10.

Intel TBB 4.0 Update 4
|
||
|
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 6004
|
||
|
|
||
|
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.0 Update 3):
|
||
|
|
||
|
- The TBB memory allocator transparently supports large pages on Linux.
|
||
|
- A new flow_graph example, logic_sim, was added.
|
||
|
- Support for DirectX* 9 was added to GUI examples.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Community Preview Features:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Added: aggregator, a new concurrency control mechanism.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Bugs fixed:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- The abort operation on concurrent_bounded_queue now leaves the queue
|
||
|
in a reusable state. If a bad_alloc or bad_last_alloc exception is
|
||
|
thrown while the queue is recovering from an abort, that exception
|
||
|
will be reported instead of user_abort on the thread on which it
|
||
|
occurred, and the queue will not be reusable.
|
||
|
- Steal limiting heuristic fixed to avoid premature stealing disabling
|
||
|
when large amount of __thread data is allocated on thread stack.
|
||
|
- Fixed a low-probability leak of arenas in the task scheduler.
|
||
|
- In STL-compatible allocator classes, the method construct() was fixed
|
||
|
to comply with C++11 requirements.
|
||
|
- Fixed a bug that prevented creation of fixed-size memory pools
|
||
|
smaller than 2M.
|
||
|
- Significantly reduced the amount of warnings from various compilers.

Intel TBB 4.0 Update 3
|
||
|
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 6003
|
||
|
|
||
|
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.0 Update 2):
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Modifications to the low-level API for memory pools:
|
||
|
added support for aligned allocations;
|
||
|
pool policies reworked to allow backward-compatible extensions;
|
||
|
added a policy to not return memory space till destruction;
|
||
|
pool_reset() does not return memory space anymore.
|
||
|
- Class tbb::flow::graph_iterator added to iterate over all nodes
|
||
|
registered with a graph instance.
|
||
|
- multioutput_function_node has been renamed multifunction_node.
|
||
|
multifunction_node and split_node are now fully-supported features.
|
||
|
- For the tagged join node, the policy for try_put of an item with
|
||
|
already existing tag has been defined: the item will be rejected.
|
||
|
- Matching the behavior on Windows, on other platforms the optional
|
||
|
shared libraries (libtbbmalloc, libirml) now are also searched
|
||
|
only in the directory where libtbb is located.
|
||
|
- The platform isolation layer based on GCC built-ins is extended.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Backward-incompatible API changes:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- a graph reference parameter is now required to be passed to the
|
||
|
constructors of the following flow graph nodes: overwrite_node,
|
||
|
write_once_node, broadcast_node, and the CPF or_node.
|
||
|
- the following tbb::flow node methods and typedefs have been renamed:
|
||
|
Old New
|
||
|
join_node and or_node:
|
||
|
inputs() -> input_ports()
|
||
|
input_ports_tuple_type -> input_ports_type
|
||
|
multifunction_node and split_node:
|
||
|
ports_type -> output_ports_type
|
||
|
|
||
|
Bugs fixed:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Not all logical processors were utilized on systems with more than
|
||
|
64 cores split by Windows into several processor groups.

|
||
|
|
||

threads involved in pending push or pop operations. The released
|
||
|
threads will receive a tbb::user_abort exception.
|
||
|
- Added Community Preview Feature: concurrent_lru_cache container,
|
||
|
a concurrent implementation of LRU (least-recently-used) cache.

||
|
- Preview of new flow graph nodes:
|
||
|
or_node (accepts multiple inputs, forwards each input separately
|
||
|
to all successors),
|
||
|
split_node (accepts tuples, and forwards each element of a tuple
|
||
|
to a corresponding successor), and

20100310 open-source release
|
||
|
|
||
|
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 2.2 Update 3 commercial-aligned release):
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Version macros changed in anticipation of a future release.
|
||
|
- Directory structure aligned with Intel(R) C++ Compiler;
|
||
|
now TBB binaries reside in <arch>/<os_key>/[bin|lib]
|
||
|
(in TBB 2.x, it was [bin|lib]/<arch>/<os_key>).
|
||
|
- Visual Studio projects changed for examples: instead of separate set
|
||
|
of files for each VS version, now there is single 'msvs' directory
|
||
|
that contains workspaces for MS C++ compiler (<example>_cl.sln) and
|
||
|
Intel C++ compiler (<example>_icl.sln). Works with VS 2005 and above.
|
||
|
- The name versioning scheme for backward compatibility was improved;
|
||
|
now compatibility-breaking changes are done in a separate namespace.
|
||
|
- Added concurrent_unordered_map implementation based on a prototype
|
||
|
developed in Microsoft for a future version of PPL.
|
||
|
- Added PPL-compatible writer-preference RW lock (reader_writer_lock).
|
||
|
- Added TBB_IMPLEMENT_CPP0X macro to control injection of C++0x names
|
||
|
implemented in TBB into namespace std.
|
||
|
- Added almost-C++0x-compatible std::condition_variable, plus a bunch
|
||
|
of other C++0x classes required by condition_variable.
|
||
|
- With TBB_IMPLEMENT_CPP0X, tbb_thread can be also used as std::thread.
|
||
|
- task.cpp was split into several translation units to structure
|
||
|
TBB scheduler sources layout. Static data layout and library
|
||
|
initialization logic were also updated.
|
||
|
- TBB scheduler reworked to prevent master threads from stealing
|
||
|
work belonging to other masters.
|
||
|
- Class task was extended with enqueue() method, and slightly changed
|
||
|
semantics of methods spawn() and destroy(). For exact semantics,
|
||
|
refer to TBB Reference manual.
|
||
|
- task_group_context now allows for destruction by non-owner threads.
|
||
|
- Added TBB_USE_EXCEPTIONS macro to control use of exceptions in TBB
|
||
|
headers. It turns off (i.e. sets to 0) automatically if specified
|
||
|
compiler options disable exception handling.
|
||
|
- TBB is enabled to run on top of Microsoft's Concurrency Runtime
|
||
|
on Windows* 7 (via our worker dispatcher known as RML).
|
||
|
- Removed old unused busy-waiting code in concurrent_queue.
|
||
|
- Described the advanced build & test options in src/index.html.
|
||
|
- Warning level for GCC raised with -Wextra and a few other options.
|
||
|
- Multiple fixes and improvements in code, tests, examples, and docs.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Open-source contributions integrated:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Xbox support by Roman Lut (Deep Shadows), though further changes are
|
||
|
required to make it working; e.g. post-2.1 entry points are missing.
|
||
|
- "Eventcount" by Dmitry Vyukov evolved into concurrent_monitor,
|
||
|
an internal class used in the implementation of concurrent_queue.
