A performance comparison of a threadpool built from C++11's std::thread library and the shared-memory parallel programming API OpenMP.
The code mmul (from mmul.cc and dummy.cc) multiplies two square matrices using both OpenMP and the ThreadPool. The usage is:
mmul [MATRIX_SIZE] [NUM_THREADS] [NUM_TRIALS]All parameters are optional.
An example from my Macbook Pro:
$ ./mmul 600 4
Min Mean Max
OpenMP: 7.8162e-01 8.0546e-01 8.2313e-01
ThreadPool: 7.7258e-01 7.9581e-01 8.4442e-01
