Is there a threaded version of some of the boost components? For example, calling find on a container should be easily threaded. I realize the user could also easily thread this, but it seems like a trivial thing to just add support for in boost itself.

The usual problem with that is that it's too low a granularity in most cases, so the threading overhead would make always trying to parallelize a net loss. Though something like http://www.threadingbuildingblocks.org/ might mitigate that. There are parallel STL implementations out there. A quick Google search finds http://www.cs.unm.edu/~fastos/06meeting/FASTOS-STAPL_2006.pdf and (the rather old) http://www.extreme.indiana.edu/hpc++/docs/overview/class-lib/PSTL/

Hello, what do you mean by a threaded version? Is it a thread-safe version, is it a parallel version? Could you shou how easy it is with an example. This will help to understand what do you want. Best _____________________ Vicente Juan Botet Escriba
