Intel® Threading Building Blocks

When initializing an object of class tbb::task_scheduler_init, use the following function to force the creation of two or more threads: initialize (int), where int = 2 or higher.

For more information, see http://www.threadingbuildingblocks.org/

Windows* API (Win32)

Use the following function to create as many threads as you need: CreateThread - Creates a thread to execute within the virtual address space of the calling process.

OpenMP* API

Use the following to force the creation of two or more threads:

• OMP_NUM_THREADS runtime environment variable - Sets the maximum number of threads in the parallel region, unless overridden by an omp_set_num_threads function or num_threads clause.

• omp_set_num_threads function - Sets the number of threads in subsequent parallel regions, unless overridden by a num_threads clause.

• num_threads clause - Sets the number of threads in a thread team.
