I took a peek at the link and the supplied documentation at the intel site. Anything easing the development of threaded software is welcome as I have gone through this hell myself. It's a pity it is not free or opensourced to speed up adoption rate. But the library seems to be enourmously versatile and powerful if used in conjunction with a profiler so it is worth its money for sure. I would like to see some of those things included and used in the standard c++ library in the future.

The article doesn't cover: What is TBB, how does it work, what does it look like? But you can find that here:

Reminds me of Java "synchronized". Or maybe sort of like a Boost-style threads lib, but with profiling tools so one wouldn't need other instrumentation utilities to monitor MT perf issues. Very cool.
