Threading Perl with TBB – YAPC::NA 2011

Sam Vilain from Open Parallel will be presenting at Yet Another Perl Conference North America (YAPC::NA) on June 27, 2011 in Ashville, North Carolina, United States, the talk Threading Perl with TBB

Abstract-

Most threading libraries provide basic primitives along the lines of POSIX threading, such as thread creation, joining, locks and semaphores, and expect the programmer to manage their efficient operation and utilization. The GPL’d Threading Building Blocks library from Intel is an attempt to bring sanity to this. It instead provides algorithms for a collection of common uses of parallelism. You use these abstractions, and the library tries to keep all cores busy. The talk covers the new CPAN library and the TBB approach to parallelism.
