Thread Pools and std::async
Thread Pool is a collection of pre-created threads that can execute multiple tasks efficiently without repeatedly creating and destroying threads. It improves performance by reusing threads and managing system resources effectively.
Thread pools are a foundational pattern in concurrent programming. Instead of spawning a new thread for each task—which is costly—a thread pool keeps a fixed number of threads alive and reuses them to handle incoming work. This approach reduces overhead, improves CPU utilization, and prevents excessive thread creation.
C++ simplifies asynchronous programming with std::async, which automatically handles task execution. Depending on the launch policy, it may run a task in a new thread or defer it until needed. While not a true thread pool, std::async provides a simple and effective way to run multiple tasks concurrently and collect their results using std::future.
