ThreadWeaver

Overview | Use Cases | Why Multithreading? | Main Components

ThreadWeaver is a helper for multithreaded programming. It uses a job-based interface to queue tasks and execute them in an efficient way.

You simply divide the workload into jobs, state the dependencies between the jobs and ThreadWeaver will work out the most efficient way of dividing the work between threads within a set of resource limits.

For more information, see Use Cases, Why Multithreading? and Main Components of ThreadWeaver.

Example Code

Example code is available in the Examples directory. The Construction program shows how to use ThreadWeaver in imperative (not event oriented) programs. The Jobs program provides a GUI example and displays the interaction with the weaver state and it's signals. The Simple Multithreaded Image Viewer (SMIV) example shows the use of job dependencies.
