Opencv parallel framework

C++
1

Hello，i am trying to accerate my application on windows with intel cpu。As far as i know，opencv support parallel framework such as： TBB、HPX、OPENMP …，i am using the opencv download from github, and the cv::getBuildInformation()'s output is:

  Trace:                         YES (with Intel ITT)

what i want to ask is:

  1. is opencv is using the parallel framework when running?
  2. how can i know which kind of parallel framwork is opencv using?
  3. how can i select the parallel framework when opencv is running, so i can compare the performance?

please, be so kind to replace the useless screenshot with TEXT, thank you.

ok. i have replace pic to txt

thanks for reply,can you help me with the three problems?

Parallelization framework is currently not runtime-selectable but there is work to make it so. I don’t know how far that has progressed.

You can always use OpenCL through OpenCV’s “transparent” API. Wrap your data in UMat and use with regular OpenCV functions.

Thanks fot reply， looking forward to this work finish。
After a day of trying， i successfully compile opencv with TBB，

And in my benchmark，
with Parallel framework: Concurrency，it cost 350us ；
with Parallel framework: TBB，it cost 800us ；
is it reasonable？

hello, is TBB faster than Concurrency? in my test TBB is mush slower than Concurrency
