thanks for your reply.
My program needs to run many (about 10,000+) computing tasks.
Each task's run time is very very short (< 0.1 second or even less).
At each iteration, all these tasks are run in parallel. Some of them need to exchange some data (it is very small) and then go on.
I want to keep all 144 cores as busy as possible so that my program can be done as fast as possible.
So, I want to associate each task with a distinct thread and schedule threads as many as possible. Also, try yo make the workload balance among these cores.
I don't think Boost has anything that will facilitate efficient use of this hardware. You may wish to take a look at Intel's Thread Building Blocks as a starting point, but I'm not certain if even that is built to scale to 144 cores. -- Cory Nelson http://int64.org
