Funny automatic translation (English to Russian):


Original:
ThreadPoolSynchronizer marshals all calls to a custom thread pool, where the calls are first queued up, then multiplexed on the available threads. The size of the pool is provided as a construction parameter. If the pool is maxed out, the call will be pending in the queue until a thread is available. You can also provide a pool name (which will be the prefix of the name of the threads in the pool). Disposing or closing ThreadPoolSynchronizer kills all threads in the pool gracefully...



Translated:
ThreadPoolSynchronizer маршалы все звонит таможенному бассейну нитки, где призывы сначала стоятся в очереди, тогда multiplexed на доступных нитках. Размер бассейна обеспечивается в качестве строительного параметра. Если бассейн maxed, призыв будет находящийся на рассмотрении в очереди прежде чем нитка имеется в распоряжении. Вы можете также обеспечить имя бассейна (который будет префикс имени ниток в бассейне). Размещая или закрытие ThreadPoolSynchronizer убивает все нитки в бассейне грациозно...
