A Node.js native addon (C++) implementing the Web Worker API with real threads, letting CPU-bound tasks run in parallel across cores within a single Node process. It is based on Threads A GoGo and requires node-gyp to build.
Use cases
- run cpu-bound fibonacci computations without blocking the node event loop
- use the web worker api in node.js
- parallelize javascript tasks across all cpu cores in one process
- offload long-running javascript work to background threads
When to choose
- you need thread-based (not process-based) parallelism with the Web Worker API in Node.js
- your workload is pure JavaScript CPU-bound computation
When to avoid
- you need to require native modules inside workers (use tiny-worker instead)
- you are on modern Node.js with native worker_threads support
- the project is unmaintained and targets Node 0.10-era APIs
