Rasmus Munk Larsen 344c2694a6 Make the non-blocking threadpool more flexible and less wasteful of CPU cycles for high-latency use-cases.
* Adds a hint to ThreadPool allowing us to turn off spin waiting. Currently each reader and record yielder op in a graph creates a threadpool with a thread that spins for 1000 iterations through the work stealing loop before yielding. This is wasteful for such ops that process I/O.

* This also changes the number of iterations through the steal loop to be inversely proportional to the number of threads. Since the time of each iteration is proportional to the number of threads, this yields roughly a constant spin time.

* Implement a separate worker loop for the num_threads == 1 case since there is no point in going through the expensive steal loop. Moreover, since Steal() calls PopBack() on the victim queues it might reverse the order in which ops are executed, compared to the order in which they are scheduled, which is usually counter-productive for the types of I/O workloads the single thread pools tend to be used for.

* Store num_threads in a member variable for simplicity and to avoid a data race between the thread creation loop and worker threads calling threads_.size().

This directory contains contributions from various users.
They are provided "as is", without any support. Nevertheless,
most of them are subject to be included in Eigen in the future.

In order to use an unsupported module you have to do either:

 - add the path_to_eigen/unsupported directory to your include path and do:
   #include <Eigen/ModuleHeader>

 - or directly do:
   #include <unsupported/Eigen/ModuleHeader>


If you are interested in contributing to one of them, or have other stuff
you would like to share, feel free to contact us:
http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/index.php?title=Main_Page#Mailing_list

Any kind of contributions are much appreciated, even very preliminary ones.
However, it:
 - must rely on Eigen,
 - must be highly related to math,
 - should have some general purpose in the sense that it could
   potentially become an offical Eigen module (or be merged into another one).

In doubt feel free to contact us. For instance, if your addons is very too specific
but it shows an interesting way of using Eigen, then it could be a nice demo.


This directory is organized as follow:

The documentation is generated at the same time than the main Eigen documentation.
