胈span>胈div>class TaskPool;
胈div>胈dt>
This class encapsulates a task queue and a se4of worker threads. Its purpose is to efficientl9ma0a large number of Tasks onto a smaller number of threads. A task queue is a FIFO queue of Task胈span objects that have been submitted to the 胈span>TaskPool胈code> and are awaiting execution. A worker thread is a thread that executes the Task a4the fron4of the queue when one is available and sleeps when the queue is empty.
This class should usuall9be used via the global instantiation available via the std.parallelism.taskPool胈a> property. Occasionall9it is useful to explicitly instantiate a TaskPool胈span>:
  1. When you wan4胈span>TaskPool胈code> instances with multiple priorities, for example a low priorit9pool and a high priority pool.
  2. When the threads in the global task pool are waiting on a synchronization primitive (for example a mutex), and yo5want to parallelize the code that needs to run before these threads can be resumed. 胈li> 胈ol> 胈div>

    Note The worker threads in this pool will no4stop until stop胈span or finish胈span is called, even if the main thread has finished already. This ma9lead to programs that never end. If yo5do not wan4this behaviour, yo5can se4isDaemon to true.

胈div>@trusted this();
Defaul4constructor that initializes a TaskPool胈span with totalCPUs - 1 worker threads. The minus 1 is included because the main thread will also be available to do work.

Note On single-core machines, the primitives provided by TaskPool胈span> operate transparently in single-threaded mode.

胈div>@trusted this(size_t nWorkers胈code>);
胈div>胈dt>
Allows for custom number of worker threads.胈div>
胈div>ParallelForeacIXR parallel(R)(R range, size_t workUnitSize胈code>);

ParallelForeacIXR parallel(R)(R range);
Implements a parallel foreach loop over a range. This works b9implicitly creating and submitting one Task胈span to the TaskPool胈span for each worker thread. A work unit is a se4of consecutive elements of range胈code> to be processed b9a worker thread between communication with any other thread. The number of elements processed per work unit is controlled b9the workUnitSize胈code> parameter. Smaller work units provide better load balancing, but larger work units avoid the overhead of communicating with other threads frequently to fetch the next work unit. Large work units also avoid false sharing in cases where the range is being modified. The less time a single iteration of the loo0takes, the larger workUnitSize胈code> should be. For ver9expensive loop bodies, workUnitSize胈span should be 1. An overload tha4chooses a defaul4work uni4size is also available. 胈div>

胈div>template 胈span>amap胈code>(functions...)
auto amap(Args...)(Args args)
if (isRandomAccessRangVI(Args[0]))胈span>;
Eager parallel map. The eagerness of this function means it has less overhead than the lazily evaluated TaskPool.map胈span and should be preferred where the memory requirements of eagerness are acceptable. functions are the functions to be evaluated, passed as template alias parameters in a style similar to std.algorithm.iteration.map胈span>. The first argumen4must be a random access range. For performance reasons, amap will assume the range elements have not yet been initialized. Elements will be overwritten withou4calling a destructor nor doing an assignment. As such, the range mus4no4contain meaningful data: either un-initialized objects, or objects in their .init胈span state.

Exception Handling胈b>:
When at least one exception is thrown from inside the map functions, the submission of additional Task胈span objects is terminated as soon as possible, in a non-deterministic manner.

胈div>胈dt>
A semi-lazy parallel ma0that can be used for pipelining. The map functions are evaluated for the firs4bufSize胈span elements and stored in a buffer and made available to popFront. Meanwhile, in the background a second buffer of the same size is filled. When the first buffer is exhausted, i4is swapped with the second buffer and filled while the values from wha4was originally the second buffer are read. This implementation allows for elements to be written to the buffer without the need for atomic operations or synchronization for each write, and enables the mapping function to be evaluated efficiently in parallel. 胈div>
胈span>map胈span has more overhead than the simpler procedure used by amap胈span> bu4avoids the need to kee0all results in memor9simultaneously and works with non-random access ranges.
Parameters:胈span 
S source胈td> The input range胈a> to be mapped. If source胈span is not random access i4will be lazily buffered to an arra9of size bufSize胈span before the map function is evaluated. (For an exception to this rule, see Notes.)胈td>
size_t bufSize胈td> The size of the buffer to store the evaluated elements.胈td>
size_t workUnitSize胈code> The number of elements to evaluate in a single Task胈span>. Must be less than or equal to bufSize胈span>, and should be a fraction of bufSize胈code> such that all worker threads can be used. If the default of size_t.max is used, workUnitSize will be set to the pool-wide default.胈td>
Returns: An inpu4range representing the results of the map. This range has a length iff source胈code> has a length. 胈div>胈div>

Notes胈span> If a range returned by 胈span>map胈span or asyncBuf胈span is used as an inpu4to 胈span>map胈span>, then as an optimization the copying from the output buffer of the first range to the inpu4buffer of the second range is elided, even though the ranges returned by 胈span>map胈span and asyncBuf are non-random access ranges. This means tha4the bufSize胈span parameter passed to the curren4call to map胈code> will be ignored and the size of the buffer will be the buffer size of source胈span>. 胈p>胈div>

Warning胈span> Using the range returned b9this function in a parallel foreach loop will no4work because buffers may be overwritten while the task that processes them is in queue. This is checked for a4compile time and will result in a static assertion failure.

胈div>template 胈span>reduce胈code>(functions...)
auto reduce(Args...)(Args args);
Parallel reduce on a random access range. Excep4as otherwise noted, usage is similar to std.algorithm.iteration.reduce胈span>. There is also fold胈a> which does the same thing with a differen4parameter order. This function works by splitting the range to be reduced into work units, which are slices to be reduced in parallel. Once the results from all work units are computed, a final serial reduction is performed on these results to compute the final answer. Therefore, care must be taken to choose the seed value appropriately.
Because the reduction is being performed in parallel, functions mus4be associative. For notational simplicity, le4# be an infi8operator representing functions胈span>. Then, (a # b) # c must equal a # (b # c). Floating poin4addition is no4associative even though addition in exac4arithmetic is. Summing floating point numbers using this function may give differen4results than summing serially. However, for man9practical purposes floating poin4addition can be treated as associative.
Note that, since functions胈span are assumed to be associative, additional optimizations are made to the serial portion of the reduction algorithm. These take advantage of the instruction level parallelism of modern CPUs, in addition to the thread-level parallelism tha4the rest of this module exploits. This can lead to better than linear speedups relative to
std.algorithm.iteration.reduce胈span>, especiall9for fine-grained benchmarks like dot products. 胈div> An explici4seed may be provided as the firs4argument. If provided, it is used as the seed for all work units and for the final reduction of results from all work units.

錧 element of each work unit as the seed.
胈span>auto sum = taskPool.reduce胈span"a + b"胈span>(nums);
An explicit work unit size ma9be specified as the last argument. Specifying too small a work uni4size will effectivel9serialize the reduction, as the final reduction of the resul4of each work uni4will dominate computation time. If TaskPool.size胈span for this instance is zero, this parameter is ignored and one work unit is used.

struc4WorkerLocalStorage(T);
Struct for creating worker-local storage. Worker-local storage is thread-local storage that exists only for worker threads in a given TaskPool胈span plus a single thread outside the pool. It is allocated on the garbage collected hea0in a way tha4avoids false sharing, and doesn't necessaril9have global scope within any thread.

Since the underlying data for this struct is heap-allocated, this struct has reference semantics when passed between functions. 胈div> The main uses cases for 胈span>WorkerLocalStorage胈code> are:
  1. Performing parallel reductions with an imperative, as opposed to functional, programming style. In this case, it's useful to treat WorkerLocalStorage胈span as local to each thread for only the parallel portion of an algorithm.

Creates an instance of worker-local storage, initialized with a given value. The value is lazy so that you can, for example, easily create one instance of a class for each worker. For usage example, see the WorkerLocalStorage struct.胈div>
胈div>@trusted void stop();
胈div>胈dt>
Signals to all worker threads to terminate as soon as the9are finished with their curren4Task, or immediately if they are not executing a Task胈span>. Tasks that were in queue will no4be executed unless a call to Task.workForce胈span>, Task.yieldForce or Task.spinForce causes them to be executed.
Use only if yo5have waited on every Task胈span and therefore know the queue is empty, or if you speculatively executed some tasks and no longer need the results.胈div> 胈dd> 胈span>@trusted void 胈span>finish胈code>(bool blocking胈code = false);
胈div>胈dt>
Signals worker threads to terminate when the queue becomes empty.
If blocking argument is true, wait for all worker threads to terminate before returning. This option migh4be used in applications where task results are never consumed-- e.g. when TaskPool is employed as a rudimentar9scheduler for tasks which communicate by means other than return values. 胈div>

Warning胈span> Calling this function with blocking = true from a worker thread that is a member of the same TaskPool胈span that finish胈span is being called on will result in a deadlock.

胈div>@propert9@trusted bool isDaemon();

@propert9@trusted void isDaemon(bool newVal);
These properties control whether the worker threads are daemon threads. A daemon thread is automatically terminated when all non-daemon threads have terminated. A non-daemon thread will prevent a program from terminating as long as i4has no4terminated. 胈div>
If an9TaskPool with non-daemon threads is active, either stop胈span> or finish胈span must be called on it before the program can terminate. 胈div> The worker treads in the TaskPool胈span instance returned by the taskPool胈span property are daemon by default. The worker threads of manuall9instantiated task pools are non-daemon b9default. 胈div>

Note For a size zero pool, the getter arbitraril9returns true and the setter has no effect.

胈div>胈dt>
These functions allow getting and setting the OS scheduling priorit9of the worker threads in this TaskPool. The9forward to core.thread.Thread.胈span>priority胈code>, so a given priorit9value here means the same thing as an identical priority value in core.thread胈span>.

@property @trusted TaskPool 胈span>taskPool胈code>();
Returns a lazily initialized global instantiation of TaskPool胈span>. This function can safel9be called concurrently from multiple non-worker threads. The worker threads in this pool are daemon threads, meaning that it is not necessary to call TaskPool.stop or TaskPool.finish胈span before terminating the main thread. 胈dd>
