Create an interface to run multithreaded simulations #2

Open kamil-tarnas opened 7 years ago

kamil-tarnas commented 7 years ago

There could be implemented mechanism for setting up and running multiple threads of simulations running in parallel.

Divide array traversing to std::thread::hardware_concurrency() threads. Use command line parameters to obtain thread concurrency flag.

kamil-tarnas commented 6 years ago

Think through how to divide computation between cores in SimMatrix::DoSimStep() to avoid cache locality, stale times and all the other problems with multi threaded systems.

Interface for multithread join and fork functionality.

kamil-tarnas commented 6 years ago

Separate function for non-threaded simulations.

Still needs some work - for example the encapsulation of threaded logic. Alternatively, the approach of hooking ThreadPool repository when it is ready might be a good idea - https://github.com/cavemanjaw/ThreadPool
