Programming :: Preemption And Scheduling Of Pthreads

Feb 10, 2010

i think we can simulate preemption by using 2 different priority thread, am i true? I just try these scenario :
1. Create Thread A with priority 99 , SCHED_FIFO..
2. Create Thread B with priority 4 , SCHED_FIFO

Thread A started and doing some busy work.. I guess that Thread B wouldn't start until thread A finished, but I get thread B can run before Thread A finished (It just like a common task switching).. I'm sure my 2 thread has right priority. and if thread B is doing some work and if i yield it to thread A, it should preempt it but this doesnt happen, do someone kno wats happening?

Programming :: Suspend Pthreads Without Condition

Jun 29, 2010

I just started with Pthreads and don't really know much about it. I want to suspend pthreads but apparently, there is no such function as pthread_suspend. but I don't understand why we need both mutex and condition to suspend and resume a pthread. Is it possible to suspend and resume it without using conditions?

Programming :: Pthreads Return Value Valid Or Not

Jun 14, 2010

I have confusion regarding pthreads return value. All in short, is the is a valid return value ?

[source]
void * myThrRoutine(void *arg)
{
struct myStruct **myst = (struct myStruct**) arg;
cout<<"In thread "<<(*myst)->var<<(*myst)->msg<<endl;
int x = 20;
pthread_exit((void*)x);
}
[/source]

This seems to work fine on pthread_join , but I want to ensure it is not by chance.

Programming :: Segfault In Program Using Pthreads

Mar 16, 2010

I am trying to write a peer to peer application in C++ using pthreads library. There are few types of nodes that run in the program. The 'beacon' nodes form the core of the network. The ordinary nodes 'join' the network by sending join requests to the beacon node. So, my program runs till the join requests and responses are received. When I try to 'connect' using connect function from the socket library, I get a segfault. I am not sure if the segfault occurs for the connect function, because sometimes the program just runs to completion. It could be an issue related to threads or memory allocation.

When I run gdb, it shows me the following:
Code:
(gdb) run b2-n00.ini
Starting program: sv_node b2-n00.ini
servant:12600> [New LWP 1]
[New LWP 2]
[New LWP 3]
[New LWP 4]
[New LWP 5]
[New LWP 6]
Before Exiting[LWP 1 exited]
procfs: fetch_registers, get_gregs line 3768, /proc/23952/lwp/1: No such file or directory.

Programming :: Using Lock In OpenMP And Pthreads

Apr 14, 2011

I have a program that uses both Pthreads and OpenMP. Basically, 2 threads (Thread A and B) are created using Pthreads to do work, and in Thread A, OpenMP is used to parallelize a for loop.If I have a global variable that is accessed by the OpenMP threads and also Thread B, can I use the lock in OpenMP to ensure I have no race conditions?

Programming :: Related To Pthreads And Timers In POSIX Standard

Feb 17, 2010

I have created two threads:
Thread 1 and thread 2

In the main thread, i have put up a timer which generates a signal periodically when it expires, which reults in execution going to signal catcher function.when this function is invoked, under certain condition it goes to thread 1 and under another condition it goes to thread 2. The problem lies here that when it goes to thread2,i have a loop to process but it doesnt come out of the loop and hence from thread2, even though timer has expired.

Programming :: Thread Scheduling And Signalling

Mar 23, 2010

I have a program which is uses sigaction to register for a SIGIO signal (for incoming data on a fd) with an appropriate event handler. I also create a new detached thread 'B' that does some work with the received data. Normally the thread B runs properly. But when my event handler is called (because a there is new incoming data), after the event is handled, the thread B is not called immediately. There is a noticeable delay of the order of many seconds before it is scheduled again .During this delay, my program is doing nothing.

What am i doing wrong? Is there someway i can run thread B as soon as the event is handled (and assuming no other work is to be carried out)?

Programming :: Which Is Scheduling Algorithm Which Will Make Thread O?

May 4, 2011

I have a timer thread, and when it expires, it sets a flag. The only problem is, if any higher priority thread comes in between, then the timer is not expired in real time.Thus i want to set a highest priority to my thread. Now, i know 2 algos, which can make my thread in real time are: SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR.

So, here are my queries: 1) Which scheduling algo is best suited for this purpose? 2) Is it guaranted to work in real time if i use that algo (you suggest in 1) and set the max_priority by getting the maximum settable priority for that particular algorithm using, int sched_get_priority_max(int policy);

Programming :: Use Pthread Scheduling Policy Without Root User?

Jan 12, 2011

I am working on a large program in C to run on Puppy Linux. I have multiple pthreads running. I want to be able to set the pthread SCHED_POLICY and priority in my program but I want a user to be able to run the program without root privilege.
Using a sticky bit and root ownership gives the user too much power because they will be able to write and compile their own scripts. Is there a way to use 'sudo' when I set the thread parameters from my program or something like this?

General :: Pthreads - Structure Can Be Returned With Value

May 21, 2010

I am playing around with pthreads. This program however blows up.

#include <iostream>
#include <pthread.h>
using namespace std;
struct myStruct
{
int a;
string msg;
};

void * myProc(void *arg)
{
struct myStruct* str = new struct myStruct();
str->a = 10;
str->msg ="hi";
return (void*)str;
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
pthread_t mythr;
int status ;
void *retVal;
struct myStruct* m_str;
status = pthread_create(&mythr,NULL,myProc,NULL);
status = pthread_join(mythr,&retVal);
cout<<"Status is"<<status<<endl;
m_str = (struct myStruct*)m_str;
cout<<"retval is "<<m_str->a<<" "<<endl;
return 0;
}

Can a structure be returned by a thread as its return value ?

General :: Pthreads - Executing Two Different Functions Simultaneously

Jul 1, 2011

In my code I want to have two different functions to be executed simultaneously (in parallel) in a single processor system. I tried to use pthreads but they happened to be executed one after another. I have heard about fork, some saying that its no longer recommended since its functions can be achieved by pthreads.

Software :: Set Top Box With Scheduling Of Tasks On 2.6.12

Mar 10, 2010

We are seeing some strange behavior on a Set top Box with the scheduling of tasks. We use 2.6.12 kernel. The issue is when we create a Task, say task1 with a priority of 46.But,this task is not Scheduled to run by the scheduler right away. It gets chance to run only after sometime. What we see here is that I create many other tasks with lower priority than task1,but they are immediately scheduled. Ideally, the task1 should have got scheduled before certain other low priority tasks as it has higher priority. Any patch is available wrt this?

Ubuntu :: Scheduling Audio Playback

May 5, 2010

I am wondering about scheduling audio playback under Ubuntu. The background is this: My birthday is fast approaching, and I always try to do something to remember the best birthday gift I ever received, that being the Apollo 11 mission; Neil and Buzz landed on my 12th birthday.

Anyway, I have a wagonload of audio from nasa.gov and would like to schedule the MP3s to play in real time. 'at' won't do it, at least with 'mplayer'; I've tried. I suspect that because there is no controlling terminal for jobs run under 'at', the audio has no place to go. Is there some way to get a controlling terminal for these audio playback jobs, or specify a destination to some player?
