Does threading work? #1

Hi,

Nice Implementation! I was wondering if threading works on TF? Are you able to utilize all the cores? Or do you have to switch to multiprocessing?

Thanks for the information, threading should work fine for tensorflow, and unlock the GIL in python, as stated in the post Asynchronous computation in tensorflow, and it is slightly difficult to use multiprocessing in tensorflow with this code structure, as you cannot pass/share session across multiple processes.
