------------------------------------------------------------------------
The list of most significant changes made over time in
Intel(R) Threading Building Blocks (Intel(R) TBB).
Intel TBB 2019 Update 7
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 11007
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 2019 Update 6):
- Added TBBMALLOC_SET_HUGE_SIZE_THRESHOLD parameter to set the lower
bound for allocations that are not released back to OS unless
a cleanup is explicitly requested.
- Added zip_iterator::base() method to get the tuple of underlying
iterators.
- Improved async_node to never block a thread that sends a message
through its gateway.
- Extended decrement port of the tbb::flow::limiter_node to accept
messages of integral types.
- Added support of Windows* to the CMake module TBBInstallConfig.
- Added packaging of CMake configuration files to TBB packages built
using build/build.py script
(https://github.com/intel/tbb/issues/141).
Changes affecting backward compatibility:
- Removed the number_of_decrement_predecessors parameter from the
constructor of flow::limiter_node. To allow its usage, set
TBB_DEPRECATED_LIMITER_NODE_CONSTRUCTOR macro to 1.
Preview Features:
- Added ordered associative containers:
concurrent_{map,multimap,set,multiset} (requires C++11).
Open-source contributions integrated:
- Fixed makefiles to properly obtain the GCC version for GCC 7
and later (https://github.com/intel/tbb/pull/147) by Timmmm.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel TBB 2019 Update 6
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 11006
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 2019 Update 5):
- Added support for Microsoft* Visual Studio* 2019.
- Added support for enqueuing tbb::task into tbb::task_arena
(https://github.com/01org/tbb/issues/116).
- Improved support for allocator propagation on concurrent_hash_map
assigning and swapping.
- Improved scalable_allocation_command cleanup operations to release
more memory buffered by the calling thread.
- Separated allocation of small and large objects into distinct memory
regions, which helps to reduce excessive memory caching inside the
TBB allocator.
Preview Features:
- Removed template class gfx_factory from the flow graph API.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel TBB 2019 Update 5
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 11005
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 2019 Update 4):
- Associating a task_scheduler_observer with an implicit or explicit
task arena is now a fully supported feature.
- Added a CMake module TBBInstallConfig that allows to generate and
install CMake configuration files for TBB packages.
Inspired by Hans Johnson (https://github.com/01org/tbb/pull/119).
- Added node handles, methods merge() and unsafe_extract() to concurrent
unordered containers.
- Added constructors with Compare argument to concurrent_priority_queue
(https://github.com/01org/tbb/issues/109).
- Controlling the stack size of worker threads is now supported for
Universal Windows Platform.
- Improved tbb::zip_iterator to work with algorithms that swap values
via iterators.
- Improved support for user-specified allocators in concurrent_hash_map,
including construction of allocator-aware data types.
- For ReaderWriterMutex types, upgrades and downgrades now succeed if
the mutex is already in the requested state.
Inspired by Niadb (https://github.com/01org/tbb/pull/122).
Preview Features:
- The task_scheduler_observer::may_sleep() method has been removed.
Bugs fixed:
- Fixed the issue with a pipeline parallel filter executing serially if
it follows a thread-bound filter.
- Fixed a performance regression observed when multiple parallel
algorithms start simultaneously.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel TBB 2019 Update 4
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 11004
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 2019 Update 3):
- global_control class is now a fully supported feature.
- Added deduction guides for tbb containers: concurrent_hash_map,
concurrent_unordered_map, concurrent_unordered_set.
- Added tbb::scalable_memory_resource function returning
std::pmr::memory_resource interface to the TBB memory allocator.
- Added tbb::cache_aligned_resource class that implements
std::pmr::memory_resource with cache alignment and no false sharing.
- Added rml::pool_msize function returning the usable size of a memory
block allocated from a given memory pool.
- Added default and copy constructors for tbb::counting_iterator
and tbb::zip_iterator.
- Added TBB_malloc_replacement_log function to obtain the status of
dynamic memory allocation replacement (Windows* only).
- CMake configuration file now supports release-only and debug-only
configurations (https://github.com/01org/tbb/issues/113).
- TBBBuild CMake module takes the C++ version from CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD.
Bugs fixed:
- Fixed compilation for tbb::concurrent_vector when used with
std::pmr::polymorphic_allocator.
Open-source contributions integrated:
- TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION is included into TBB version in CMake
configuration (https://github.com/01org/tbb/pull/100)
by Hans Johnson.
- Fixed detection of C++17 deduction guides for Visual C++*
(https://github.com/01org/tbb/pull/112) by Marian Klymov.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel TBB 2019 Update 3
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 11003
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 2019 Update 2):
- Added tbb::transform_iterator.
- Added new Makefile target 'profile' to flow graph examples enabling
additional support for Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE tools.
- Added TBB_MALLOC_DISABLE_REPLACEMENT environment variable to switch off
dynamic memory allocation replacement on Windows*. Inspired by
a contribution from Edward Lam.
Preview Features:
- Extended flow graph API to support relative priorities for functional
nodes, specified as an optional parameter to the node constructors.
Open-source contributions integrated:
- Enabled using process-local futex operations
(https://github.com/01org/tbb/pull/58) by Andrey Semashev.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel TBB 2019 Update 2
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 11002
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 2019 Update 1):
- Added overloads for parallel_reduce with default partitioner and
user-supplied context.
- Added deduction guides for tbb containers: concurrent_vector,
concurrent_queue, concurrent_bounded_queue,
concurrent_priority_queue.
- Reallocation of memory objects >1MB now copies and frees memory if
the size is decreased twice or more, trading performance off for
reduced memory usage.
- After a period of sleep, TBB worker threads now prefer returning to
their last used task arena.
Bugs fixed:
- Fixed compilation of task_group.h when targeting macOS* 10.11 or
earlier (https://github.com/conda-forge/tbb-feedstock/issues/42).
Open-source contributions integrated:
- Added constructors with HashCompare argument to concurrent_hash_map
(https://github.com/01org/tbb/pull/63) by arewedancer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel TBB 2019 Update 1
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 11001
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 2019):
- Doxygen documentation could be built with 'make doxygen' command now.
Changes affecting backward compatibility:
- Enforced 8 byte alignment for tbb::atomic<long long> and
tbb::atomic<double>. On IA-32 architecture it may cause layout
changes in structures that use these types.
Bugs fixed:
- Fixed an issue with dynamic memory allocation replacement on Windows*
occurred for some versions of ucrtbase.dll.
- Fixed possible deadlock in tbbmalloc cleanup procedure during process
shutdown. Inspired by a contribution from Edward Lam.
- Fixed usage of std::uncaught_exception() deprecated in C++17
(https://github.com/01org/tbb/issues/67).
- Fixed a crash when a local observer is activated after an arena
observer.
- Fixed compilation of task_group.h by Visual C++* 15.7 with

Several application threads may join a task_arena and execute tasks
simultaneously. The amount of concurrency reserved for application
threads at task_arena construction can be set to any value between
0 and the arena concurrency limit.

allocator replacement (libtbbmalloc_proxy) is used and memory is
released during application startup.
- Usage of mutable functors with task_group::run_and_wait() and
task_arena::enqueue() is disabled. An attempt to pass a functor
which operator()() is not const will produce compilation errors.

higher.

Preview Features:

tbb::flow::async_node.
- Modification to the low-level API for memory pools:
added a function for finding a memory pool by an object allocated
from that pool.

from the pool.
