So to get the maximum benefit from parallel code, data dependence must be carefully managed Mon, 14 Nov 2011 18:45 EST http://www.drdobbs.com/tools/the-intel-threading-building-blocks-flow/231900177 User feedback inspired the flow graph feature in Intel Threading Building Blocks, which allows programmers to express static and dynamic dependency graphs, as well as reactive or event-based graphs.
