A minimal, header-only C++11 thread pool library that manages a fixed set of worker threads executing queued tasks. Tasks return std::future objects, allowing callers to retrieve results asynchronously.

Use cases

  • run tasks in parallel with a fixed worker pool in C++
  • enqueue functions and get results via futures
  • avoid manually managing std::thread instances
  • parallelize CPU-bound workloads
  • implement background task execution in a C++ application

When to choose

  • you need a tiny, dependency-free thread pool in modern C++
  • you want std::future-based task results with minimal boilerplate
  • you prefer a single-header library that is easy to drop into any project

When to avoid

  • you need advanced features like work stealing, priorities, or dynamic resizing
  • your project targets C++ standards older than C++11
  • you need a full async runtime or coroutine integration
