TBB use threads provided by an operation system. If you want to use some kind of GPU accelerators you can try to use streaming_node (Documentation). It could help you to simplify using OpenCL(for example) for computation.

Streaming_node is a part of TBB Flow graph

No, TBB is not supported for Nvidia GPUs. But CUDA and Thrust are. These provide a first-class programming environment, and Thrust provides easy-to-use parallel primitives, as does TBB.
