Detailed Description

mitkThreadMaster - encapsulates a master of the master/worker model

mitkThreadMaster encapsulates a master of the master/worker model It creates workers when it is initialized either by a "worker creator" or by duplicating an existing "sample worker". If workers are created by duplication, the "sample worker" itself will be referenced as one of the workers. And then, the master creates corresponding threads to drive the workers.
