the same functionality is provided by Microsoft Visual Studio in the Parallel Patterns Library, which comes with any edition of Visual C++ or Studio (including Express versions)

Furthermore all professional versions of this IDE also support MPI, but unfortunately not the latest version of this language dialect. But you can still do portable code with it (code that compiles on both gcc and Visual C++, if needed).

EDIT: should have said OpenMP not MPI

hsmyers,

Good post. I've been using TBB and Microsoft's PPL for about a year and a half now and absolutely love them. They are a godsend for people who do multi-threaded programming. There are few developments in the computing world that actually excite me, and this is one of them. Given the simplicity of the interface versus how much functionality they offer, using them is a no-brainer. I encourage all developers to re-write their MT code using these libraries. There's simply no need for the traditional threading model butchering your code just to get something to run in parallel.

cbuchner1,

I prefer TBB simply because it's cross platform and non-proprietary. Intel did a great job.

On a side note, I've seen your posts around here and on the nVidia forums over the last few years. I noticed you expressed interest a while back in Fractron, but sadly the project went nowhere after it's initial release. I wanted to let you know that I've been working on a similar project for the last year and am about 2 months away from an initial release. It's been a tremendous amount of work, but I am very excited about it. I will post it on this site, hopefully you'll like it. Keep an eye out!

Also, have you been working on/interested in any other projects over the last year or so?

Please let me know when you release (alpha, beta, production, I don't care smiley )

Every time I start to think about writing YANFP (Yet Another Fractal Program) I get distracted by testing formulas in UF5 and Saturn.  wink That said, I've at least recovered working versions (under DOSBox) of FracTools and some related Bourbaki software so things are at least on a historical basis. I rewrote FracZooms as a win-app using Borland C++ but rather stupidly lost the code  cry I'm leaning towards creating another version with VS2012 but have yet to get off of my dead rear end to do so. Certainly if I do I'll let folks know! It is fun to think that after all of these years, I'm still playing with 'pretty pictures' and still loving it  cheesy

I will definitely keep you posted.

Of course you're playing with pretty pictures. You wouldn't want to look at ugly ones! Haha.
