 * @brief The TaskManager class
 *
 * TaskManager handles the life of a Task object. After a new Task is created, it should be sent to TaskManager through
 * AddTask(). TaskManager will take ownership of the task and add it to a queue until it system resources are available
 * for it to run. Currently, TaskManager will run no more Tasks than there are threads on the system (one task per
 * thread). As Tasks finished, TaskManager will start the next in the queue.
