[vtkusers] multicore CPUs

[Mike Jackson]

This is sure to start a "hey.. you should use this.. " pack of  
replies, this looks promising:

http://threadingbuildingblocks.org/

It is open source, cross-platform, GPLv2 with the runtime exception,  
is NOT a replacement for threads, but a higher level abstraction and  
there is an actual book available for it.

http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Threading-Building-Blocks-Parallelism/dp/ 
0596514808/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1204749345&sr=8-1

Just my input.
