The Sun-Intel alliance has introduced Intel Threading Building Blocks (TBB) for the Solaris operating system using Sun Studio.
TBB makes it easier to develop threaded applications for newer multi-core processors, including Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors.
TBB is available through an open source project and has become the most widely used tool for software developers using C++ to take advantage of the power of multi-core processors, said the partners.
"Now, Sun Studio with TBB makes it possible to quickly harness the full processing power of Solaris platforms," they said.
