marl

We have hosted the application marl in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about marl:

marl is a lightweight C++ job system that schedules tasks on a pool of worker threads and runs them using cooperative fibers for high throughput. By decoupling “tasks” from OS threads, it minimizes context switches and lets workloads with fine-grained synchronization scale efficiently. The API is intentionally small—post tasks, wait on fences, and express dependencies—so you can retrofit it into existing engines without adopting a heavyweight framework. Under the hood, fibers allow tasks to yield while waiting, keeping cores busy without blocking threads. The runtime is portable across platforms and integrates cleanly with real-time systems that must minimize latency jitter. Graphics, simulation, and media pipelines use marl to turn long serial phases into parallel stages without rewriting everything around coroutines.

Features:

• Fiber-backed task scheduler over a fixed worker thread pool
• Cooperative yielding to avoid blocking and keep cores busy
• Simple task, dependency, and fence APIs for incremental adoption
• Low overhead suitable for real-time and interactive workloads
• Cross-platform C++ library with minimal dependencies
• Plays well with existing engines, allocators, and profilers

Programming Language: C++.
