General Usage
The Intel Threaded Building Blocks (TBB) is a C++ library for shared memory parallel programming and heterogeneous computing (intra-node distributed memory programming).
This uses the Intel OneAPI version of TBB for intel/oneapi compilers and the older developer tools version for gcc 8 and 9. We will be replacing the gcc versions with the OneAPI version when we next upgrade the gcc compilers.
The following environmental variables have been defined:
- $INTELTBB_ROOT has been set to the root of the intel-tbb installation
- $INTELTBB_LIBDIR points to the directory containing the libraries
- $INTELTBB_INCDIR points to the directory containing the header files
You will probably wish to use these by adding the following flags to your compilation command (e.g. to CFLAGS in your Makefile):
- -I$INTELTBB_INCDIR
and the following flags to your link command (e.g. LDFLAGS in your Makefile):
- -L$INTELTBB_LIBDIR -Wl,-rpath,$INTELTBB_LIBDIR
