What oneTBB Is
oneAPI Threading Building Blocks (oneTBB) is a runtime-based parallel programming model for C++ code
that uses threads. The template-based runtime library can help you harness the latent performance of multi-
core processors.
oneTBB enables you to simplify parallel programming by breaking computation into parallel running tasks.
Within a single process, parallelism is carried out through threads, an operating system mechanism that
allows the same or different sets of instructions to be executed simultaneously. Using threads can make your
program work faster and more efficiently.
Here you can see one of the possible executions of tasks by threads.
