    /**
     * Singleton class for managing and executing work items (jobs) that need an active OpenGL context.
     * After an OpenGL context has been registered you can enqueue jobs that are to be executed within that 
     * context to the job queue. Enqueued jobs are executed asynchroniously using a specific scheduling 
     * strategy, depending on the given JobType:
     * 
     * OpenGLJobProcessor implements a round-robin scheduling strategy for the registered OpenGL contexts, 
     * meaning that each context gets roughly the same computing time. Thereby, it tries to maintain an update
     * frequency of 30fps for each context.
     * The jobs for each contexts are scheduled using the following technique: As mentioned above, each context
     * has a time slot of \a n milliseconds. At first, as much serial jobs are executed as possible until their
     * queue is empty or or the time is up. Then, one low priority job is executed. Finally, the PaintJob is
     * executed (if existant) before switching to the next context.
     * 
     * This class implements the Runnable interface, hence, runs in its own thread. Furthermore, it uses 
     * conditional wait, when there are currently no jobs to process.
     * 
     * This class is to be considered as thread-safe.
