Abstract
A system and method for managing a pool of threads for executing thread operations. A thread pool is instantiated which includes a plurality of threads, and a work queue having program controllable states is instantiated. Thread operations are queued to the work queue when the work queue is in a running or suspended state, and when the work queue is in a stopped state requests to queue thread operations are denied. The work queue supports controlled allocation of thread resources to a variety of thread operations.
