also i'm trying to use `newFixedThreadPoolContext`...

# coroutines

[sreich]

also i'm trying to use newFixedThreadPoolContext to create a fixed amount of threads to run my function on..but i think i need to know the thread id it's running on (0 or 1..n)

What exactly your are trying to achieve?

[sreich]

i have work that can be done on an array, but only in a multithreaded manner if they are in separate sections of the array. my previous solution was just spawning n threads and partitioning their 'region' into n parts. now i wanna use coroutines and use the job/channel stuff

[sreich]

before it was essentially for n in 1..4 { thread { dostuff(threadNum=n) } }, but now i wanna try using coroutines (and the channel/producer classes) with a fixed number of threads

[sreich]

or is there a better approach?

[elizarov]

You can do the same with coroutines. Just replace thread with launch(CommonPool)
