[并发并行]_[线程模型]_[Pthread线程使用模型之二 工作组work crew]

Pthread线程使用模型之二工作组(Work crew)

场景

1.一些耗时的任务,比如分析多个类型的数据, 是独立的任务, 并不像 pipeline那样有序的依赖关系, 这时候pipeline就显得不合适了,因为它不能同时处理这些任务. 当然有些任务A可能依赖任务B的输出, 这可能就嵌套了pipeline模型了.

2.复杂的计算,可以分开独立的逻辑单独处理, 之后再合并结果.

说明

1.在工作组里, 数据是被一组线程独立处理的, 这意味着有一个“parallel decomposition” 循环。一个数据集被多个线程分割, 同时结果也是单个数据集.

这里写图片描述

2.在工作组里的线程对不同的数据执行完全不同的操作. 我们工作组里的成员, 比如, 每个移除工作从共享队列里获取请求, 同时做请求所要求做的事情. 每个队列请求数据包能描述多样化的操作—- 但是这个通用的队列和”任务描述”(用来处理队列)让他们成为一个”组”而不是独立的工作线程. 这个模型类似于 MIMD 并行处理的原始定义 “multiple instruction, multiple data.”

3.在后边的篇幅会介绍我们开发的更加工业级和更加通用(也是更加复杂)的工作队列管理器(work queue manager). 一个工作组(work crew)和一个工作队列(work queue)相对于“不可变”和“临界区”这两个特性来说是很相似的. 一个工作组是一组线程的集合独立处理数据; 然而一个工作队列是一种机制, 你的代码可以通过这种机制请求被匿名和独立的代理(agents)处理过的数据.

例子

1.以下的程序, crew.c, 显示了一个简单的工作组. 运行程序加两个参数, 搜索字符串A和文件路径. 程序会把文件路径放入工作组里. 一个工作组成员会决定是否文件或目录 – 如果是文件, 它会搜索文件里出现的字符串A; 如果是目录,它会使用readdir_r 查找该目录下的所有的目录和普通的文件同时排列每个入口作为新的work. 每个文件里包含搜索字符串的都会被打印出来.

2.每个work由一个work_t结构体进行描述. 这个结构体有一个指向下一个work项的指针, 一个指向文件路径的指针, 一个指向需要搜索的字符串. 在当前的构造里, 所有的work都指向同一个字符串.

3.每个work crew都有一个成员worker_t结构体. 这个结构体包含了crew 数组成员的索引, crew成员的线程标识, 和一个指向crew_t结构体的指针.

4.crew_t结构体描述了work crew的状态. 它记录了work crew成员的数量(crew_size)和一个数组worker_t. 它同时也有一个计数器表明剩余多少个work item需要处理(work_count),并且有一个未做完的work item链表. 最后. 它包含了各种pthreads同步对象: 一个mutex来控制访问, 一个condition变量(done)来等待work crew来完成任务, 还有一个condition变量(go)是给crew的成员worker_t来等待接收新的任务的.

5.worker_routine函数是crew线程的起始函数. 外围的循环会一直重复处理直到线程被告知终止.条件变量循环阻塞每个新的crew member直到收到新的work. 等待稍微有点不同. 当work 列表为空时, 等待更多的work. crew成员不会终止– 一旦他们完成呢个当前的作业, 他们就会等待新的作业.

6.如果文件是一个链接, 输出这个名字. 注意每个消息包含了县城的work crew index(mine->index), 一边你能看到并发的任务; 如果文件是目录, 打开目录,查找该目录下的所有目录项(文件,目录,链接), 之后每个目录项作为一个新任务加入到crew的 work链表末尾. 注意此时的lock, 并且 crew->work_count++ 会递增; 如果文件是普通文件, 打开它,并搜索指定的字符串. 如果找到, 写一个消息并退出循环; 如果是其他类型, 我们会把她的类型报告出来.

7.处理完work后重新锁定mutex, 同时报告work item已经完成. 如果计数达到0, 那么这个crew已经完成这次作业, 同时广播去唤醒等待新的作业的线程(注,如果crew_start被多线程调用). 注意,work_count被递减仅当work item被完全处理后– count不会为0, 如果任何crew 成员仍然busy(同时也许被添加了额外的目录项到队列里).
