What does "object affine" mean?

Question

What does "object affine" mean? For instance, there are object affine thread pools. While I understand both thread pools and affine transformations in math, I can't think of an association between them.

Answer 1

Are you thinking about Affinity? If so I suggest that what it means with respect to threads, is that the certain threads will be linked to a cetain set of resources like for exmample a cpu or a core perhaps, and not be swtched across to another set of resources. This can allow for certain low level optimisations such as maximising L1 cache hits
