//    context.maxjobs: when 0 (the default), the PoolProcessor will use a
//      number of threads, that is optimal for your system to process your items.
//    context.callback: this should be a callback function, that each worker
//      thread in the pool will run for each item.

//      1) the PoolProcessor instance, so it can call
//            p.get_item<int>(idx) to get the actual item at index idx
//      2) idx - the index of the currently processed item
