The Embedded Multicore Building Blocks (EMBB) are an easy to use yet powerful and efficient C/C++ library for the development of parallel applications. EMBB has been specifically designed for embedded systems and the typical requirements that accompany them, such as real-time capability and constraints on memory consumption. As a major advantage, low-level operations are hidden in the library which relieves software developers from the burden of thread management and synchronization. This not only improves productivity of parallel software development, but also results in increased reliability and performance of the applications. WWW: https://github.com/siemens/embb
