Using parallelism with boost::future

From the article:

... While I'm fine with that the application locks up kind of hard during writing a GB zip file (its only job), I'd like to be as fast as possible. Thats why I decided to parallelize the part of the application that reads the file paths via boost::filesystem...

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.
