Abstract
Execution of varying tasks for heterogeneous applications running in a single runtime environment is managed. The runtime environment is capable of managing thread pools for any of the plurality of applications and receives a request to manage a thread pool for one of the applications. The request includes size thresholds for the pool, a first function to be invoked for creation of threads, and a second function to be invoked for termination of the threads. Responsive to detecting that a first size threshold is not satisfied, the runtime environment invokes the first function to cause the application to create an additional thread. Responsive to detecting that a second size threshold is not satisfied, the runtime environment places an artificial task that incorporates the second function into a work queue for the thread pool, whereby a thread executes the artificial task to invoke the second function and thereby terminates.
