Sorry about butting in so late, but on the topic of scalability and
potential superiority to TBB, you might be interested to check out Hartmut
Kaiser's talk on asynchronous computing (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xyztU__yys) and his lab's library, HPX (
http://stellar.cct.lsu.edu/projects/hpx/).
Cheers.
