Question: thread pool of choice #71

Closed pfeatherstone closed 3 months ago

When using custom executors, is there a good thread pool you recommend that works well with this library or will any be fine ?

Are task stealing lock free ones a good choice or not ?

Cheers

I was thinking of benchmarking taskflow vs continuable+thread_pool

Hi, it usually depends on your use-case and requirements what a good thread pool is for you. The library can be used with all thread pools that support queuing arbitrary callable objects as work. Therefore, it might be best to benchmark the implementations that fits your use-case.

Okidok. Will have to do some tests.
