I'm not aware of any task management stuff that comes with the boost libraries. boost::thread is pretty much a straightforward wrapper to lower-level threading concepts. I would usually build up some kind of task queue/stack that is either locking or concurrent and non-locking that manages the tasks. Then you can start M threads where M is the number of cores on your machine. These threads can then "steal" the work from the task queue, and/or add new tasks to the task queue until the tasks are finished. TBB (intel thread building blocks) has some of this already in place to make it easier to write these kinds of programs, but I typically roll my own and use boost threads directly as I have seen better performance.

Hello, I am writing a program that needs to run N simulations with N >10 000. Obviously, I cannot instantiate N threads at the same time but I cannot run the simulations sequentially either. Can anyone please advise me how to design my program using the boost threading library and concepts please? Thanks in advance, Julien.
