### `pool.execute(data, name, transferList)`
-`data` (optional) An object that you want to pass to your worker implementation.
+`data` (optional) An object that you want to pass to your worker task function implementation.
`name` (optional) A string with the task function name that you want to execute on the worker. Default: `'default'`
-`transferList` (optional) An array of transferable objects that you want to transfer to your [worker_threads](https://nodejs.org/api/worker_threads.html) worker implementation.
+`transferList` (optional) An array of transferable objects that you want to transfer to your [`ThreadWorker`](#class-yourworker-extends-threadworkerclusterworker) worker implementation.
This method is available on both pool implementations and returns a promise with the task function execution response.
### `pool.addTaskFunction(name, fn)`
-`name` (mandatory) The task function name.
+`name` (mandatory) The task function name.
`fn` (mandatory) The task function.
This method is available on both pool implementations and returns a boolean promise.

-### `PoolOptions`
+### Pool options
An object with these properties:
- `workerChoiceStrategyOptions` (optional) - The worker choice strategy options object to use in this pool.
Properties:
- - `retries` (optional) - The number of retries to perform if no worker is eligible.
- `measurement` (optional) - The measurement to use in worker choice strategies: `runTime`, `waitTime` or `elu`.
- `runTime` (optional) - Use the tasks [simple moving median](./worker-choice-strategies.md#simple-moving-median) runtime instead of the tasks simple moving average runtime in worker choice strategies.
- `waitTime` (optional) - Use the tasks [simple moving median](./worker-choice-strategies.md#simple-moving-median) wait time instead of the tasks simple moving average wait time in worker choice strategies.
- `elu` (optional) - Use the tasks [simple moving median](./worker-choice-strategies.md#simple-moving-median) ELU instead of the tasks simple moving average ELU in worker choice strategies.
- `weights` (optional) - The worker weights to use in weighted round robin worker choice strategies: `{ 0: 200, 1: 300, ..., n: 100 }`.
- Default: `{ retries: 6, runTime: { median: false }, waitTime: { median: false }, elu: { median: false } }`
+ Default: `{ runTime: { median: false }, waitTime: { median: false }, elu: { median: false } }`
- `startWorkers` (optional) - Start the minimum number of workers at pool initialization.
Default: `true`
- `restartWorkerOnError` (optional) - Restart worker on uncaught error in this pool.
Default: `true`
-- `enableEvents` (optional) - Events integrated with async resource emission enablement in this pool.
+- `enableEvents` (optional) - Pool events integrated with async resource emission enablement.
Default: `true`
- `enableTasksQueue` (optional) - Tasks queue per worker enablement in this pool.
Default: `false`
- `size` (optional) - The maximum number of tasks that can be queued on a worker before flagging it as back pressured. It must be a positive integer.
- `concurrency` (optional) - The maximum number of tasks that can be executed concurrently on a worker. It must be a positive integer.
- - `taskStealing` (optional) - Task stealing enablement on empty queue.
+ - `taskStealing` (optional) - Task stealing enablement on idle.
- `tasksStealingOnBackPressure` (optional) - Tasks stealing enablement under back pressure.
+ - `tasksFinishedTimeout` (optional) - Queued tasks finished timeout in milliseconds at worker termination.
- Default: `{ size: (pool maximum size)^2, concurrency: 1, taskStealing: true, tasksStealingOnBackPressure: true }`

-#### `ThreadPoolOptions extends PoolOptions`
+ Default: `{ size: (pool maximum size)^2, concurrency: 1, taskStealing: true, tasksStealingOnBackPressure: true, tasksFinishedTimeout: 2000 }`
- `workerOptions` (optional) - An object with the worker options to pass to worker. See [worker_threads](https://nodejs.org/api/worker_threads.html#worker_threads_new_worker_filename_options) for more details.
