|short_name| is a runtime-based parallel programming model for C++ code that uses threads.
It enables you to simplify parallel programming by breaking
computation into parallel running tasks.
The library consists of a template-based runtime library to help you harness the latent performance
of multi-core processors. Use |short_name| to write scalable applications that:

It consists of a template-based runtime library to 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.

- Specify logical parallel structure instead of threads
- Emphasize data parallel programming
- Take advantage of concurrent collections and parallel algorithms

Use oneTBB to write scalable applications that:

* Specify logical parallel structure instead of threads
* Emphasize data-parallel programming
* Take advantage of concurrent collections and parallel algorithms

oneTBB supports nested parallelism as well. It means that you can use the library without being worried about overloading a computer.
