'''Intel Array Building Blocks''' (also known as '''ArBB''') iswas a [[C++]] [[library (computer science)|library]] developed by [[Intel]] [[Corporation]] for exploiting data parallel portions of programs to take advantage of [[multi-core]] [[CPU|processors]], [[GPUs|graphics processing units]] and [[Intel Many Integrated Core Architecture]] processors. ArBB provides a generalized vector parallel programming solution designed to avoid direct dependencies on particular low-level parallelism mechanisms or hardware architectures. ArBB is oriented to applications that require data-intensive mathematical computations. By default, ArBB programs cannot create data races or deadlocks.

[[Intel Ct]] was a [[parallel programming model]] developed by [[Intel]] in 2007 for its future [[multi-core]] processors as part of the [[Intel Tera-Scale|Tera-Scale]] research program.<ref>[http://blogs.intel.com/research/2007/09/the_many_flavors_of_data_paral.php "The Many Flavors of Data Parallelism"], Anwar Ghuloum (2007-09-06).
