How to: Use Cancellation to Break from a Parallel Loop
This example shows how to use cancellation to implement a basic parallel search algorithm.
Example
The following example uses cancellation to search for an element in an array. The parallel_find_any
function uses the concurrency::parallel_for algorithm and the concurrency::run_with_cancellation_token function to search for the position that contains the given value. When the parallel loop finds the value, it calls the concurrency::cancellation_token_source::cancel method to cancel future work.
// parallel-array-search.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <ppl.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <random>
using namespace concurrency;
using namespace std;
// Returns the position in the provided array that contains the given value,
// or -1 if the value is not in the array.
template<typename T>
int parallel_find_any(const T a[], size_t count, const T& what)
{
// The position of the element in the array.
// The default value, -1, indicates that the element is not in the array.
int position = -1;
// Call parallel_for in the context of a cancellation token to search for the element.
cancellation_token_source cts;
run_with_cancellation_token([count, what, &a, &position, &cts]()
{
parallel_for(std::size_t(0), count, [what, &a, &position, &cts](int n) {
if (a[n] == what)
{
// Set the return value and cancel the remaining tasks.
position = n;
cts.cancel();
}
});
}, cts.get_token());
return position;
}
int wmain()
{
const size_t count = 10000;
int values[count];
// Fill the array with random values.
mt19937 gen(34);
for (size_t i = 0; i < count; ++i)
{
values[i] = gen()%10000;
}
// Search for any position in the array that contains value 3123.
const int what = 3123;
int position = parallel_find_any(values, count, what);
if (position >= 0)
{
wcout << what << L" is at position " << position << L'.' << endl;
}
else
{
wcout << what << L" is not in the array." << endl;
}
}
/* Sample output:
3123 is at position 7835.
*/
The concurrency::parallel_for algorithm acts concurrently. Therefore, it does not perform the operations in a pre-determined order. If the array contains multiple instances of the value, the result can be any one of its positions.
Compiling the Code
Copy the example code and paste it in a Visual Studio project, or paste it in a file that is named parallel-array-search.cpp
and then run the following command in a Visual Studio Command Prompt window.
cl.exe /EHsc parallel-array-search.cpp
