Open Source Thoughts: Parrot and Multicore 17 years 3 weeks ago

"Hence, if we can wrap C++ libraries threaded using TBB, then the Parrot NCI should make it possible for all the languages that have Parrot support to call those libraries. Then, high level scripting languages such as Ruby, Python, and Perl will have convenient access to computationally-intensive libraries that have been threaded for optimal performance on multicore processors."
