如何:使用屏障同步處理並行作業

下列範例示範如何使用 Barrier 同步處理並行工作。

範例

下列程式的目的是計算兩個執行緒需要多少反覆項目 (或階段),才能讓兩者透過使用隨機演算法重新排列文字,來找到其另外一半的解決方案。 在各執行緒打散其文字之後,屏障的後續階段作業會比較兩個結果,以查看完整的句子是否已以正確的文字順序顯示。

Barrier 是一種物件,可防止平行作業中的個別工作繼續執行,直到所有的工作都到達屏障為止。 當階段中發生平行作業,且各階段要求在工作之間進行同步處理時,它會很有用。 在此範例中,作業有兩個階段。 在第一個階段中,每個工作都會使用資料填入其緩衝區區段。 當每個工作完成填入其區段時,工作會向屏障發出訊號,告知它已準備好繼續進行,然後等候。 當所有的工作都已向屏障發出訊號,就會將工作解除封鎖,並開始第二階段。 屏障是必要的,因為第二階段要求每個工作都擁有此點已產生之所有資料的存取權。 若沒有屏障,第一個要完成的工作可能會嘗試從其他工作尚未填入的緩衝區讀取。 您可以此種方式同步處理任何數目的階段。
