Thallium (Core C++ runtime)

This section will walk you through a series of tutorials on how to use Thallium. We highly recommend to read at least up to the tutorial on providers, which will give you a good picture of how to make a truely object-oriented Mochi service with Thallium.

Thallium also provide a complete object-oriented wrapper for Argobots. One important thing to keep in mind is that these wrappers should be used in place of the C++ threading library.

Important

One of the most frequent source of bug we encounter is developers mistakenly using std::mutex or std::thread intead of their Thallium counterparts thallium::mutex and thallium::thread.
