My question is, as the title says :
On a general level (ease of usage, degree of control over what happens, etc) which one would you recommend for a small parallel program ? Microsoft’s TPL or Intel’s TBB ?

Thank you in advance

    Not really easy to answer this. TBB is a C++ template library, while TPL is a .NET library. Assuming you can choose whichever language you like, they both offer similar general-purpose parallel constructs, mainly:

    • parallel loops: Parallel.For in TPL and parallel_for in TBB
    • parallel tasks: Task in TPL and tbb:task in TBB
    • various concurrent collections
    • other parallel patterns e.g. parallel_reduce in TBB which can be emulated with plinq in TPL

    But again, depending on the language you choose you don’t really have a choice between the two.
