How to use C++11 threads library for setting various attributes related to thread affinity/hyper-threading.

C++11 threads, affinity and hyperthreading

by Eli Bendersky

From the article:

This post is not a tutorial on C++11 threads, but it uses them as the main threading mechanism to demonstrate its points. It starts with a basic example but then quickly veers off into the specialized area of thread affinities, hardware topologies and performance implications of hyperthreading. It does as much as feasible in portable C++, clearly marking the deviations into platform-specific calls for the really specialized stuff.
