Intel® Threading Building Blocks (Intel® TBB) is an award-winning runtime library that simplifies the writing of multithreaded applications. Just as the C++ Standard Template Library (STL) extends the core language, Intel® TBB offers C++ users a higher level abstraction for parallelism. To implement Intel® TBB, developers use familiar C++ templates and coding style, leaving low-level threading details to the library. It is also portable between architectures and operating systems. With Intel® TBB, developers get the benefits of faster programming, scalable performance, and easier to maintain code. Read more

Single-user license only. License variations such as node-locked, floating or academic must be purchased through an authorized distributor. Click here for a list of authorized distributors.
Within two hours of ordering (during normal business hours), Intel Business Exchange customer service will email instructions on how to register your support service renewal.
This support service renewal is for single-user licenses only. If you need the full version of academic software or other license variations, you need to purchase it from a reseller. Click here for a list of authorized distributors.
You can only renew services for the same product originally purchased.
Only registered products are eligible for service renewals.
Your support service renewal begins one year from the date of original product service expiration, not from the date of renewal purchase.
