From 07eec5c9069cc03b3854ccafe3dd0f80e8e37451 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dharamendra Kumar Date: Sat, 16 May 2026 12:37:10 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Add dharamendrak submission Free-threaded scheduler: persistent thread-pool of 24 workers on queue.SimpleQueue, chain fast-path for linear DAGs, inline-execution to skip queue round-trips on chain links, and heap-based LPT priority only when both max_fan_in and max_fan_out exceed worker count.
