thread-pool's Introduction

PROBLEM=========================================================================
Thread creation is an 'heavy' process.
Too many thrads hurts performance.

SOLUTION========================================================================
thread-pool is a simple library that allows users for asynchronous computation
using only a fixed number of threads optimizing overall performance.

SAMPLE USAGE===================================================================

CL-USER> (require :thread-pool)

CL-USER> (let ((out *standard-output*))
	   (defun make-lazy-fib (n)
	     (labels ((fib (n) (if (> n 2)
                               (+ (fib (- n 1)) (fib (- n 2)))
			       1)))
	       (lambda ()
		 (format out "~%fib ~a = ~a~%" n (fib n))))))

CL-USER> (defvar *pool* (thread-pool:make-thread-pool 3))
*POOL*

CL-USER> (thread-pool:start-pool *pool*)
(#<SB-THREAD:THREAD "Anonymous thread" RUNNING {1002B88871}>
 #<SB-THREAD:THREAD "Anonymous thread" RUNNING {1002B88A71}>
 #<SB-THREAD:THREAD "Anonymous thread" RUNNING {1002B88C71}>)

CL-USER> (let ((out *standard-output*))
	   (defun make-lazy-fib (n)
	     (flet ((fib (n) (if (> n 2)
				 (+ (fib (- n 1)) (fib (- n 2)))
				 1)))
	       (lambda ()
		 (format out "~%fib ~a = ~a~%" n (fib n))))))
MAKE-LAZY-FIB
CL-USER> (progn (thread-pool:add-to-pool *pool* (make-lazy-fib 15))
		(thread-pool:add-to-pool *pool* (make-lazy-fib 20))
		(thread-pool:add-to-pool *pool* (make-lazy-fib 5))
		(thread-pool:add-to-pool *pool* (make-lazy-fib 17))
		(thread-pool:add-to-pool *pool* (make-lazy-fib 10))
		(thread-pool:add-to-pool *pool* (make-lazy-fib 6)))
