[Paraview] Paraview Build Option - VTK_SMP_IMPLEMENTATION_TYPE; parallelization questions

[Praveen Narayanan]

I would like to know what the flags imply:

VTK_SMP_IMPLEMENTATION_TYPE: Which multi-threaded parallelism implementation to use. Options are Sequential, Simple, Kaapi or TBB.

Is there a proper description of these parameters (or a an example/test in the suite)?
The following paper yields some information: http://hal.inria.fr/docs/00/78/98/14/PDF/RR-8245.pdf

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?
Some online sources (probably outdated) claim that VTK is not thread safe.

Thanks
Praveen.
