A thread pool is an object that maintains a pool of worker threads to
|
|
perform time consuming operations in parallel. It assigns jobs to the
|
|
threads by putting them in a work request queue, where they are picked
|
|
up by the next available thread. This then performs the requested
|
|
operation in the background and puts the results in another queue.
|
|
|
|
The thread pool object can then collect the results from all threads
|
|
from this queue as soon as they become available or after all threads
|
|
have finished their work. It's then possible to define callbacks to
|
|
handle each result as it comes in.
