Hello boost,<div><br></div><div>Traditionally, I think of services as having a thread pool or manually managed threads to handle requests and produce responses. I have been looking at boost::asio and tbb as an alternative to this in order to take advantage of multiple cores. Also, I think that implementing an event handler with asio or tbb should provide better performance over a threadpool.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Do you have any suggestions? So far, I have implemented an example using tbb::task_group and spawned tasks. This yielded full CPU utilization, but since these are very short lived tasks, the task creation overhead took over.</div>
<div>Using io_service, it seems to be as easy as posting to the service, and running it among different threads. Would this be the correct approach for my case?</div><div><br></div><div>Can somebody share their experiences on libraries or patterns used to implement an event handling mechanism?</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Alessandro</div>
