I'm interessted in a boost lib of lockfree structures - I hope the boost community can help.
I agree.
Threadpool is just a brick of a bigger ensemble that would make efficient multithreaded programming a little bit easier. Below one can think of concurrent structures and operations, above ready-to-use patterns and algorithms.
Maybe you could start by making a "x-mass list" of what you need.
- improve performance (fast as TBB - if possible) - lockfree-fifo, -lifo and -priority queue - check work-stealing algorithm - check for raise conditions - get framework interface stable as possible - timeout of task execution (meaning if task could not be finished until a certain time has reached the task gets canceld -> should be possible via Anthonies future lib)
Do you have a design diagram of your current threadpool implementation?
currently not :(
