Thread<ToolKit> Benefits

The design of Thread<ToolKit> provides the following powerful benefits.

Portability - Thread<ToolKit> addresses the lack of a C++ standard for controlling and synchronizing threads by providing the most portable C++ interface available today. Thread<ToolKit> is portable across numerous platforms.
Simplicity - Most native thread interfaces are cryptic, and few make use of the powerful features available in C++. Thread<ToolKit> provides a complete set of interfaces designed for simple and intuitive use.
Comprehensive features - Thread<ToolKit> provides a complete set of features for even the most sophisticated thread users. In many threading interfaces, an important feature found in another thread interface can be missing or behave differently in the active thread. Thread<ToolKit> resolves this variation by adding code to each thread interface as required, to bring them all to a single, full featured C++ interface. The solution is not the least common denominator of thread and synchronization behavior, but a value-added complete solution.
Efficiency - The interfaces in Thread<ToolKit> are designed to provide cross-platform power without incurring high overhead. Each class is customized to use the native thread APIs directly, with minimal overhead, creating a high-performance thread programming environment.
