------------------------------------------------------------------------
The list of most significant changes made over time in
Intel(R) Threading Building Blocks (Intel(R) TBB).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel TBB 4.2 Update 3
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 7003
- Added support for Microsoft* Visual Studio* 2013.
- Improved Microsoft* PPL-compatible form of parallel_for for better
support of auto-vectorization.
- Added a new example for cancellation and reset in the flow graph:
Kohonen self-organizing map (examples/graph/som).
- Various improvements in source code, tests, and makefiles.
Bugs fixed:
- Added dynamic replacement of _aligned_msize() previously missed.
- Fixed task_group::run_and_wait() to throw invalid_multiple_scheduling
exception if the specified task handle is already scheduled.
Open-source contributions integrated:
- A fix for ARM* processors by Steve Capper.
- Improvements in std::swap calls by Robert Maynard.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel TBB 4.2 Update 2
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 7002
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.2 Update 1):
- Enable C++11 features for Microsoft* Visual Studio* 2013 Preview.
- Added a test for compatibility of TBB containers with C++11
range-based for loop.
Changes affecting backward compatibility:
- Internal layout changed for class tbb::flow::limiter_node.
Bugs fixed:
- When building for Intel(R) Xeon Phi(tm) coprocessor, TBB programs
no longer require explicit linking with librt and libpthread.
Open-source contributions integrated:
- Fixes for ARM* processors by Steve Capper, Leif Lindholm
and Steven Noonan.
- Support for Clang on Linux by Raf Schietekat.
- Typo correction in scheduler.cpp by Julien Schueller.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel TBB 4.2 Update 1
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.
Community 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
spawned in the process of resetting the graph to its initial state.
- Fixed decrement bug in limiter_node.
- Fixed a race in arc deletion in the flow graph.
Open-source contributions integrated:
- Improved support for IBM* Blue Gene* by Raf Schietekat.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 initilizer 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.
Open-source contributions integrated:
- Fixed task_group_context state propagation to unrelated context trees
by Raf Schietekat.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel TBB 4.1 Update 4
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 6105
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.
Open-source contributions integrated:
- Type fixes, cleanups, and code beautification by Raf Schietekat.
- Improvements in atomic operations for big endian platforms
by Raf Schietekat.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel TBB 4.1 Update 3
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.
Open-source contributions integrated:
- The fix for the GUI examples on OS X* systems by Raf Schietekat.
- Moved some power-of-2 calculations to functions to improve readability
by Raf Schietekat.
- C++11/Clang support improvements by arcata.
- ARM* platform isolation layer by Steve Capper, Leif Lindholm, Leo Lara
(ARM).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
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:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
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):

- 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.

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:

- Added parallel_for/game_of_life.net example (for Windows only)
showing TBB usage in a .NET application.
- A number of other fixes and improvements to code, tests, makefiles,
examples and documents.
Bugs fixed:
- The same list as in TBB 2.1 Update 4 right above.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel TBB 2.1 Update 3 commercial-aligned release
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 3015
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 2.1 U2 commercial-aligned release):
- Added support for aligned allocations to the TBB memory allocator.
- Added a special library to use with LD_PRELOAD on Linux* in order to
replace the standard memory allocation routines in C/C++ with the
TBB memory allocator.
- Added null_mutex and null_rw_mutex: no-op classes interface-compliant
to other TBB mutexes.
- Improved performance of parallel_sort, to close most of the serial gap
with std::sort, and beat it on 2 and more cores.
- A few other small changes.
Bugs fixed:
- the problem where parallel_for hanged after exception throw
if affinity_partitioner was used (1556).
- get rid of VS warnings about mbstowcs deprecation (1560),
as well as some other warnings.
- operator== for concurrent_vector::iterator fixed to work correctly
with different vector instances.

Intel TBB 2.1 Update 2 commercial-aligned release
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 3014
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 2.1 U1 commercial-aligned release):
- Incorporates all open-source-release changes down to TBB 2.1 U1,
except for:
- 20081019 addition of enumerable_thread_specific;
- Warning level for Microsoft* Visual C++* compiler raised to /W4 /Wp64;
warnings found on this level were cleaned or suppressed.
- Added TBB_runtime_interface_version API function.
- Added new example: pipeline/square.
- Added exception handling and cancellation support
for parallel_do and pipeline.
- Added copy constructor and [begin,end) constructor to concurrent_queue.
- Added some support for beta version of Intel(R) Parallel Amplifier.
- Added scripts to set environment for cross-compilation of 32-bit
applications on 64-bit Linux with Intel(R) C++ Compiler.
- Fixed semantics of concurrent_vector::clear() to not deallocate
internal arrays. Fixed compact() to perform such deallocation later.
- Fixed the issue with atomic<T*> when T is incomplete type.
