Software Open Access
A C++17 Thread Pool for High-Performance Scientific Computing
Shoshany, Barak
v3.1.0 (2022-07-13)
BS_thread_pool.hpp:- Fixed an issue where
wait_for_tasks()would sometimes get stuck ifpush_task()was executed immediately beforewait_for_tasks(). - Both the thread pool constructor and the
reset()member function now determine the number of threads to use in the pool as follows. If the parameter is a positive number, then the pool will be created with this number of threads. If the parameter is non-positive, or a parameter was not supplied, then the pool will be created with the total number of hardware threads available, as obtained fromstd::thread::hardware_concurrency(). If the latter returns a non-positive number for some reason, then the pool will be created with just one thread. See #51 and #52. - Added the
[[nodiscard]]attribute to classes and class members, in order to warn the user when accidentally discarding an important return value, such as a future or the return value of a function with no useful side-effects. For example, if you usesubmit()and don't save the future it returns, the compiler will now generate a warning. (If a future is not needed, then you should usepush_task()instead.) - Removed the
explicitspecifier from all constructors, as it prevented the default constructor from being used with static class members. See #48.
- Fixed an issue where
BS_thread_pool_test.cpp:- Improved
count_unique_threads()using condition variables, to ensure that each thread in the pool runs at least one task regardless of how fast it takes to run the tasks. - When appropriate,
check()now explicitly reports what the obtained result was and what it was expected to be. check_task_monitoring()andcheck_pausing()now explicitly report the results of the monitoring at each step.- Changed all instances of
std::vector<std::atomic<bool>>tostd::unique_ptr<std::atomic<bool>[]>. See #44. - Converted a few more C-style casts to C++ cast expressions.
- Improved
README.md:- Added instructions for using this package with the Conan C/C++ package manager. Please refer to this package's page on ConanCenter to learn how to use Conan to include this package in your project with various build systems.
