'''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.
