The Foundations for Scalable Multi-Core Software in Intel® Threading Building Blocks

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

We first must acknowledge the architect of Intel® Threading Building Blocks, Arch Robison, who did much of the background research and design of the task scheduler. We also acknowledge the other members of the TBB development team: Elena Gavrina, Chris Huson, Anton Malakhov, Andrey Marochko, Alexey Murashov, Anton Pegushin, Vladimir Polin, and Dave Poulsen. As mentioned in the paper, the TBB scalable allocator is a productization of the McRT allocator, so we acknowledge the contributions of Richard Hudson, Bratin Saha, Ali-Reza Adl-Tabatabai, and Benjamin C. Hertzberg. We thank NewCode Technologies, Inc. and MicroQuill for providing evaluation copies of their memory allocators. We also thank the reviewers of this paper for their many useful and insightful comments.
