Today, I want to talk about a small multithreading kernel (framework, library, or whatever you want to call it) that I've recently helped develop for the Spring4D project.
ComputeCore is a lightweight parallel processing framework for Delphi that lets you easily run CPU-intensive tasks across multiple threads. Its goals are straightforward: to run (possibly compute-heavy) tasks concurrently, allow tasks to spawn child tasks, and expose a very simple interface for the caller.
It will eventually be published as Spring.Threading, but until that happens, we can examine the almost-final version at https://github.com/gabr42/ComputeCore. In Spring4D, it will run the parallel implementation of the new sorting algorithm, but that doesn't mean it is only useful for one specific job! It is indeed a completely open (although intentionally simple) framework that can be used for your projects too.
