How can I optimize algorithms for multithreading?

To optimize algorithms for multithreading, you should focus on minimizing thread contention and maximizing parallelism. What specific algorithm are you working with?

I'm working with a sorting algorithm, specifically quicksort.

For quicksort, you can optimize it by using a parallel version that divides the array into subarrays and sorts them concurrently. Have you considered using a thread pool?

Yes, but I'm not sure how to implement it effectively.

You can implement a thread pool by creating a fixed number of threads that take tasks from a queue. Each thread can sort a subarray. Would you like a code example?

That would be great! Please provide a simple example.
