ThreadWeaver
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ThreadWeaver is a programming library developed for KDE 4[1] by Mirko Boehm that allows developers to easily take advantage of multi-core processors.[1] In ThreadWeaver the workload is divided into individual jobs, then relationship between jobs (what order they should be completed or which has a higher priority); from that ThreadWeaver will work out the most efficient way to execute them. Krita has implemented visual filter previews using ThreadWeaver to prevent GUI lockups.
