如何:使用屏障来使并发操作保持同步

下面的示例展示了如何将并发任务与 Barrier 同步。

示例

下面的程序用于统计两个线程使用随机算法重新随机选择字词,分别在同一阶段查找一半解决方案时所需的迭代次数(或阶段数)。 在每个线程随机选择字词后,屏障后阶段操作会比较两个结果,以确定整个句子是否按正确的字词顺序呈现。

Barrier 对象可防止并行操作中的各个任务在所有任务到达屏障前继续执行。 如果并行操作分阶段执行,且每个阶段需要在任务之间进行同步,此对象就很有用。 在此示例中,操作分两个阶段执行。 在第一阶段中,每个任务都用数据填充缓冲部分。 在每个任务填充完缓冲部分后,任务向屏障发出信号,指明可以继续执行,然后等待。 当所有任务都向屏障发出信号后,就会取消阻止它们,此时第二阶段开始。 屏障是必要的,因为第二阶段要求每个任务都有权访问此时生成的所有数据。 如果没有屏障,首先完成的任务可能会尝试从其他任务尚未填充的缓冲读取数据。 可以按照这种方式同步任意数量的阶段。
