-boost.fiber
-===========
-
-boost.fiber provides a framework for micro-/userland-threads (fibers) scheduled cooperativly.
-The API contains classes and functions to manage and synchronize fibers similiar to boost.thread.
-
-A fiber is able to store the current execution state, including all registers and CPU flags, the
-instruction pointer, and the stack pointer and later restore this state. The idea is to have multiple
-execution paths running on a single thread using a sort of cooperative scheduling (threads are
-preemptively scheduled) - the running fiber decides explicitly when its yields to allow another fiber to
-run (context switching).
-
-A context switch between threads costs usally thousends of CPU cycles on x86 compared to a fiber switch
-with less than 100 cycles. A fiber can only run on a single thread at any point in time.
-
-boost.fiber requires C++11!
