Intel Array Building Blocks (also known as ArBB) was a C++ library developed by Intel Corporation for exploiting data parallel portions of programs to take advantage of multi-core processors, graphics processing units and Intel Many Integrated Core Architecture processors.
ArBB is oriented to applications that require data-intensive mathematical computations.
By default, ArBB programs cannot create data races or deadlocks.
