+Intel® Threading Building Blocks (Intel TBB) offers a rich and complete approach
+to expressing parallelism in a C++ program. It is a library that helps you take 
+advantage of multi-core processor performance without having to be a threading 
+expert. Intel TBB is not just a threads-replacement library. 
+
+It represents a higher-level, task-based parallelism that abstracts platform 
+details and threading mechanisms for scalability and performance.
