    Parallel Tasking Library (PTL) - Lightweight C++11 mutilthreading tasking system featuring thread-pool, task-groups, and lock-free task queue (by jrmadsen)

  • Yeah, I know and that's where I struggled. I needed Parallel Tasking Library to compile another nuclear physics library and I just couldn't get it to work. It kept throwing error that .lib file has two definitions and I couldn't suppress it. It forces me to use precompiled non-multithreaded version of the lib (I deal with big simulations so it extends my run times).

  • cmake-init

    The missing CMake project initializer

  • Anyway, I have combined various talks and the reference docs into an opinionated package for easy consumption: https://github.com/friendlyanon/cmake-init You'll find many things implemented here and the examples wiki page in a proper manner. I have also been told by someone who owns the book that it closely resembles things that are also in the book, just less words and more code.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
