<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to know what the flags imply:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">VTK_SMP_IMPLEMENTATION_TYPE: Which multi-threaded parallelism implementation to use. Options are Sequential, Simple, Kaapi or TBB.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there a proper description of these parameters (or a an example/test in the suite)?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The following paper yields some information: <a href="http://hal.inria.fr/docs/00/78/98/14/PDF/RR-8245.pdf">

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would assume that these improvements translate to the insertion of appropriate directives, semaphores and the like in several parts of VTK. Could you point me to material/papers which would explain implementation specific details?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some online sources (probably outdated) claim that VTK is not thread safe. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
