Functions
AI_API void *	AiThreadCreate (unsigned int(fn)(void ), void *data, int priority)
	Creates a thread and returns a handler for the thread. More...

AI_API void	AiThreadClose (void *thread)
	Closes thread handle, to avoid resource leaks. More...

AI_API void	AiThreadWait (void *thread)
	Wait for a thread to finish. More...

AI_API AI_CONST void *	AiThreadSelf ()
	Returns a handle for the current (calling) thread. More...

AI_API void	AiParallelFor (void array_of_data, size_t data_size, size_t num_data, void payload, AtParallelForFunc job)
	Operate on an array of data in parallel. More...

AI_API AtParallelJobsID	AiParallelJobsCreateID ()
	Create a work scheduler, for running jobs in parallel. More...

AI_API void	AiParallelJobsDestroy (AtParallelJobsID jobsID)
	Destroy the parallel work scheduler. More...

AI_API void	AiParallelJobsDispatch (AtParallelJobsID jobsID, void *payload, AtParallelJobsFunc job)
	Run a new job that will be executed in a separate thread. More...

AI_API void	AiParallelJobsWait (AtParallelJobsID jobsID)
	Wait until all jobs of a given work scheduler have ended. More...
