Detailed Description

A ThreadPool manages a group of threads that perform work in a Topology. Not only can users configure the number of threads, but there are a variety of other settings such as affinity, real-time priority, and internal threading mechanisms.

The thread pool can operate in two major modes:

• When numThreads is specified to be zero, the thread pool is in thread-per-block mode. Each block that is associated with this thread pool gets its own dedicated thread spawned explicitly for its execution alone.
• Positive values for numThreads indicate pool-mode where a fixed number of threads operate on the blocks in a round-robin fashion. The thread pool will never spawn more threads than there are blocks.
