BS::thread_pool is a fast, lightweight, header-only C++17/C++20/C++23 thread pool library for submitting tasks to a pool of worker threads and receiving futures. It is designed to be easy to use while supporting high-performance parallel and scientific computing workloads.

Use cases

• run tasks in parallel with a thread pool in C++
• submit tasks and get futures back in C++
• parallelize loops for scientific computing
• manage a pool of worker threads easily
• speed up CPU-bound C++ workloads with multithreading
• wait for a batch of tasks to finish

When to choose

• you need a simple, modern C++ thread pool without heavy dependencies
• you want header-only integration via vcpkg, Conan, or Meson
• you need futures, task detaching, and wait-for-all semantics
• you are doing high-performance or scientific computing in C++

When to avoid

• you need distributed or multi-node parallelism rather than shared-memory threading
• you need GPU or heterogeneous parallelism
• your project targets a standard older than C++17
