I'll try to answer your questions, but it might be a good idea to look at
the barrelfish papers to get more information. A good start would be the
SOSP paper: http://www.barrelfish.org/barrelfish_sosp09.pdf

- A design principle of barrelfish is to make all inter-core
  communication explicit using messages. Note, however, that barrelfish
  supports multi-threaded applications, where the address space is shared
  among different threads.

- OpenMP/IntelTBB were not used for barrelfish itself. Note, however that
  barrelfish supports executing OpenMP programs.

cheers,
Kornilios.
