splash is a simple and performant thread-pool implementation in C++23.
Task submission Submits a task to the task queue.
Shutdown
Graceful
Allow all threads to finish executing before shutting down. If there are remaining tasks in the task queue, complete the remaining tasks and then shutdown.
Forced
Shutdown the thread pool immediately without waiting for tasks to finish.
Task priority
Important tasks can be put in the task queue above other tasks by setting task priority at creation time. If not priority is specified, the task queue will assume a default task queue priority of 0.
Thread pinning
Threads are pinned to cores when spawned, allowing for splash to take advantage of the properties of CPU affinity.
Roadmap:
- Dyanmic thread pool - instantiate and destroy threads as needed
- Lazy thread instantiation: only create a thread when all available threads are already active and the number of instantiated threads < number of configured threads
