From: Arnaud Giersch Date: Thu, 6 Jan 2011 15:59:57 +0000 (+0100) Subject: Use a separate thread to handle incoming messages. X-Git-Tag: v0.1~197 X-Git-Url: https://bilbo.iut-bm.univ-fcomte.fr/and/gitweb/loba.git/commitdiff_plain/afd307b9711af19f9053bad1aec0b8e60c3ea467 Use a separate thread to handle incoming messages. Incoming messages were taken into account very late, because of the following scheme: ... * do something (compute, load-balance, ...) ... * receive some message * create a new asynchronous receive communication Here, we cannot have received any new message, even if the sender was ready a long time ago, since the transfer only started when we created the new communication. Thus, we start a new iteration. The solution is to implement a separate thread to handle incoming messages asynchronously. Those messages are put in a queue to be consumed later. --- diff --git a/communicator.cpp b/communicator.cpp index f3e6bf9..94cdb04 100644 --- a/communicator.cpp +++ b/communicator.cpp @@ -1,4 +1,5 @@ #include +#include #include #include #include @@ -24,31 +25,52 @@ const int communicator::send_count_before_flush = 4; communicator::communicator() : host((hostdata* )MSG_host_get_data(MSG_host_self())) + , mutex(xbt_mutex_init()) + , cond(xbt_cond_init()) , send_counter(0) , ctrl_task(NULL) , ctrl_comm(NULL) - , ctrl_close_is_last(false) , data_task(NULL) , data_comm(NULL) - , data_close_is_last(false) { + xbt_mutex_acquire(mutex); + receiver_process = + MSG_process_create("receiver", communicator::receiver_wrapper, + this, MSG_host_self()); + xbt_mutex_release(mutex); } communicator::~communicator() { + m_task_t task; + + DEBUG0("send finalize to receiver/ctrl"); + task = MSG_task_create("finalize", 0.0, 0, NULL); + MSG_task_send(task, get_ctrl_mbox()); + + DEBUG0("send finalize to receiver/data"); + task = MSG_task_create("finalize", 0.0, 0, NULL); + MSG_task_send(task, get_data_mbox()); + + DEBUG0("wait for receiver to terminate"); + xbt_mutex_acquire(mutex); + while (receiver_process) + xbt_cond_wait(cond, mutex); + xbt_mutex_release(mutex); + if (ctrl_comm) WARN0("ctrl_comm is pending!"); if (data_comm) WARN0("data_comm is pending!"); + if (!received.empty()) + WARN2("lost %lu received message%s!", + (unsigned long )received.size(), ESSE(received.size())); if (!sent_comm.empty()) - WARN2("lost %ld send communication%s!", - (long )sent_comm.size(), ESSE(sent_comm.size())); -} + WARN2("lost %lu sent message%s!", + (unsigned long )sent_comm.size(), ESSE(sent_comm.size())); -void communicator::listen() -{ - ctrl_comm = MSG_task_irecv(&ctrl_task, get_ctrl_mbox()); - data_comm = MSG_task_irecv(&data_task, get_data_mbox()); + xbt_cond_destroy(cond); + xbt_mutex_destroy(mutex); } void communicator::send(const char* dest, message* msg) @@ -69,48 +91,27 @@ void communicator::send(const char* dest, message* msg) bool communicator::recv(message*& msg, m_host_t& from, bool wait) { - bool restart; - msg = NULL; + if (wait) { + DEBUG0("suspend main process on recv"); + xbt_mutex_acquire(mutex); + while (received.empty()) + xbt_cond_wait(cond, mutex); + xbt_mutex_release(mutex); + } - do { - if (ctrl_comm && comm_test_n_destroy(ctrl_comm)) { - msg = (message* )MSG_task_get_data(ctrl_task); - from = MSG_task_get_source(ctrl_task); - MSG_task_destroy(ctrl_task); - ctrl_task = NULL; - ctrl_comm = - (!ctrl_close_is_last || msg->get_type() != message::CTRL_CLOSE) - ?
