dispenso
A high-performance C++ thread pool and parallel algorithms library for compute-bound workloads, designed as a sanitizer-clean alternative to OpenMP and TBB.
What is dispenso?
Dispenso is a high-performance C++ library for parallel computing, providing work-stealing thread pools, parallel algorithms, futures, and concurrent containers. It solves the problem of efficient, scalable concurrency for compute-bound tasks, offering better nested parallelism and sanitizer compatibility than alternatives like OpenMP and Intel TBB.
C++ developers building performance-critical applications that require fine-grained control over parallel execution, such as scientific computing, game engines, or data processing pipelines.
Developers choose Dispenso for its superior performance in nested parallel loops, full compatibility with sanitizers like ASAN/TSAN, and explicit thread pool management, which prevents thread explosion and oversubscription common in other libraries.
Overview
The project provides high-performance concurrency, enabling highly parallel computation.
