Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install tbb on CentOS 8.

What is `tbb`

Threading Building Blocks (TBB) is a C++ runtime library that abstracts the low-level threading details necessary for optimal multi-core performance. It uses common C++ templates and coding style to eliminate tedious threading implementation work. TBB requires fewer lines of code to achieve parallelism than other threading models. The applications you write are portable across platforms. Since the library is also inherently scalable, no code maintenance is required as more processor cores become available. tbb 2018.2 9.el8 x86_64 160 k tbb-2018.2-9.el8.src.rpm appstream The Threading Building Blocks library abstracts low-level threading details http ASL 2.0 Threading Building Blocks (TBB) is a C++ runtime library that abstracts the low-level threading details necessary for optimal multi-core performance.

We can use yum or dnf to install tbb on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install tbb.

Install tbb on CentOS 8 Using dnf

Update yum database with dnf using the following command.

sudo dnf makecache --refresh
