public interface ThreadTask
extends Resettable, java.lang.Cloneable

Any task in a Network that can be run independently but belongs to a specific part of the Network. Provides a way for objects in a network that normally run on one thread to run specific parts in multiple threads (eg a Non-Decoded Termination adjusting the weight for every neuron)
