Multi-Paradigm Programming with Modern C++ - Thread Pools

The video tutorial explains the concept of thread pools, their benefits, and how to implement a basic thread pool using condition variables, mutexes, and queues. It covers popular libraries like Microsoft's PPL, Intel TBB, and Boost for thread management. The tutorial details the implementation of a thread pool, including the destructor, schedule function, and handling special cases in the thread function.

What role does the mutex play in the thread pool implementation?

What happens when the queue is empty in a thread pool?

How does the condition variable contribute to the functionality of the thread pool?

What is the significance of the atomic boolean in the thread pool's destructor?
