Producer/Consumer

• A producer adds data to a synchronized queue
• A variable number of consumers process data from a synchronized queue in a loop
• When producer is finished, send a poison pill for each worker, informing it to break/exit the loop gracefully
• Join on worker threads (wait to close)
