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.
