I am sort of new to this, so excuse me if I make any obvious mistakes. I recently found that my tracking code does not work very well on older computers. So naturally I looked to parallelization. Unfortunately, I use prebuilt libraries, and thus am unable to use tbb. (cake was giving me issues) however, I read that recently, in 2.4.3, concurrency was added into the opencv library. my question is, how the heck do I use it?

Just stick to the latest stable release and you will be fine. From OpenCV 2.4.4 it is not needed anymore to build openCV yourself to have concurrency. All TBB functionality is included where needed. Just make sure your system supports TBB.

aah. i see. I was wondering why the thresholding operation was not taking up all four cores. It seemed natural that this operation would multithread. It seems that it just doesn't take many resources to do, so the effects were not noticeable. I tried repeating the threshold 100 times in a for loop and lo and behold, all four cores were being used. Thank you for making this known to me, that opencv already multithreaded,

Just be sure to use the latest stable version, and most functionality will be multithreaded :)
