Multithreaded compute farm

[tkf]

I don’t think ThreadPools.jl is relevant here unless, e.g., you want to combine this with a GUI application:

@tkf

• The main goal of ThreadPools.jl is to separate latency-critical code from throughput-oriented code. ThreadPools.jl achieves this by a clever trick but unfortunately this impedes dynamic scheduling by the julia runtime. As a result, using this at library level means we will loose composable nested parallelism ecosystem that Julia’s parallel runtime is designed to support.

See also the last paragraph of Automatically fusing together several for-loops - #18 by tkf and the discussion.
