/*
This header-only C++ package provides hpc::mt::thread_pool which
assigns incoming tasks to a fixed number of threads.
Following methods are supported:
* ThreadPool(unsigned int nofthreads)
construct thread pool with the given number of threads
* ~ThreadPool()
the destructor waits for all threads to finish
* unsigned int get_num_threads()
return the number of threads
* void join()
wait for all threads to finish
* void terminate()
request a speedy termination, i.e. submitted but not yet assigned
tasks remain undone; threads that wait for the corresponding futures
will see broken promises
* std::future<T> submit(F task_function)
submit a task which is to be executed by one of the threads
of the pool; the future objects allows to synchronize with
the completion of the task and to receive the return value
of the submitted task
