// Threading support for the OpenEXR library
|
|
//
|
|
// The OpenEXR library uses threads to perform reading and writing
|
|
// of OpenEXR files in parallel. The thread that calls the library
|
|
// always performs the actual file IO (this is usually the main
|
|
// application thread) whereas a several worker threads perform
|
|
// data compression and decompression. The number of worker
|
|
// threads can be any non-negative value (a value of zero reverts
|
|
// to single-threaded operation). As long as there is at least
|
|
// one worker thread, file IO and compression can potentially be
|
|
// done concurrently through pinelining. If there are two or more
|
|
// worker threads, then pipelining as well as concurrent compression
|
|
// of multiple blocks can be performed.
|
|
//
|
|
// Threading in the EXR library is controllable at two granularities:
|
|
//
|
|
// * The functions in this file query and control the total number
|
|
// of worker threads, which will be created globally for the whole
|
|
// library. Regardless of how many input or output files are
|
|
// opened simultaneously, the library will use at most this number
|
|
// of worker threads to perform all work. The default number of
|
|
// global worker threads is zero (i.e. single-threaded operation;
|
|
// everything happens in the thread that calls the library).
|
|
//
|
|
// * Furthermore, it is possible to set the number of threads that
|
|
// each input or output file should keep busy. This number can
|
|
// be explicitly set for each file. The default behavior is for
|
|
// each file to try to occupy all worker threads in the library's
|
|
// thread pool.
