thread-pool-cpp

• It is highly scalable and fast.
• It is header only.
• No external dependencies, only standard library needed.
• It implements both work-stealing and work-distribution balancing startegies.
• It implements cooperative scheduling strategy.

Example run: Post job to thread pool is much faster than for boost::asio based thread pool.
