<p>
All three of the double-exponential integrators are thread safe as long as
BOOST_MATH_NO_ATOMIC_INT is not set. Since the integrators store a large
amount of fairly hard to compute data, it is recommended that these objects
are stored and reused as much as possible.
</p>
<p>
Internally all three of the double-exponential integrators use the same caching
strategy: they allocate all the vectors needed to store the maximum permitted
levels, but only populate the first few levels when constructed. This means
a minimal amount of memory is actually allocated when the integrator is first
constructed, and already populated levels can be accessed via a lockfree
atomic read, and only populating new levels requires a thread lock.
</p>
<p>
In addition, the three built in types (plus <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">__float128</span></code>
when available), have the first 7 levels pre-computed: this is generally
sufficient for the vast majority of integrals - even at quad precision -
and means that integrators for these types are relatively cheap to construct.
