Intel Array Building Blocks (also known as ArBB) was a C++ library developed by Intel Corporation for exploiting data parallel portions of programs to take advantage of multi-core processors, graphics processing units and Intel Many Integrated Core Architecture processors. ArBB provides a generalized vector parallel programming solution designed to avoid direct dependencies on particular low-level parallelism mechanisms or hardware architectures. ArBB is oriented to applications that require data-intensive mathematical computations. By default, ArBB programs cannot create data races or deadlocks.

History

Intel Ct was a parallel programming model developed by Intel in 2007 for its future multi-core processors as part of the Tera-Scale research program.[1] In April 2009, Intel announced that "Ct [is] to appear in programmer tools by end of the year".[2] On August 19, 2009, Intel acquired RapidMind, a privately held company founded and headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.[3] In September 2010, Intel Array Building Blocks (ArBB) were introduced as the result of the merger of Intel Ct and RapidMind technologies.[4][5] The first version of ArBB supported Microsoft Windows and Linux, and Intel, Microsoft Visual C++ and GCC C++ compilers.

In October 2012 the project was discontinued in favour of other Intel projects: Cilk Plus and Threading Building Blocks.[6]
