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?
View 2 Repliesi 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?
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?

void * myThrRoutine(void *arg)
{

pthread_exit((void*)x);
}

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

I don't seem to find a conclusive answer to this one...."Is popen thread safe via pthreads?"
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I am running Yellow Dog Linux release 6.2(Pyxis) on my PS3. I would like to compile and run C programs that utilize OpenMP for parallel programming. Unfortunately, I have not been very successful. I am able to compile programs containing OpenMP statements error free, but when I attempt to execute the binaries I receive the following error: Code: ./file: error while loading shared libraries: libgomp.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Compiling programs without OpenMP statements works fine.
Because it has to do something with missing libraries, I am not sure if knowing the executable search paths may help in diagnosis, but when echoing the path environment variable:

The version of GCC on this machine, 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-44), is identical to the ones I have on two other machines (CentOS release 5.3 (Final) and CentOS release 5.4 (Final)) and they both compile and execute OpenMP code flawlessly. I have tried building and installing another version of GCC that would possibly include the OpenMP libraries, since, according to some sources, GCC has only supported OpenMP since version 4.2. But I have not been successful with that either (that problem would make a good second thread.)
I have installed OpenMPI from ubuntu repository. However some users need openMp. The problem is I didn't find that in ubuntu repository. Where can I found deb packages? If I must install from source, then is there any conflict between openMp and openMPI?

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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 on an old Sony Vaio laptop. I was following some of the steps here..[url]
The step "Enable Full DVD Playback(Dual Layer DVD Support)" did not finish correctly doh and now I can't use 'sudo apt-get' for anything or the software center or using the 'Update Manager' does not work.
The update manger says it may be caused by an update not finishing correctly which sounds correct as explained above. The apt-get command gives me back the following....'Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock resource temporarily unavailable' 'unable to lock administration directory /var/lib/dpkg is another process using it?'
I tried the obvious restart but that hasn't worked.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering why the num lock doesn't work in Ubuntu anymore? When you press the "num lock" key, you're supposed to be able to input the numbers along with + - * / and decimal point. When I press num lock and try typing numbers, nothing happens.
I've done a google search and this is a well known problem that nobody has fixed. In Windows it's never a problem.
Seems such a shame that the great Ubuntu and Linux are so good for stability and speed, but can't get a simple num lock working.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIf multiple threads operate on a single shared resource, we can lock it using pthread_mutex_lock. Uptill that it is fine, but why again pthread_cond_wait?
int shared=0; // global
.
.
// Thread 1
pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
shared=1;
pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
When thread1 invokes the mutex lock, no other threads can access it in parallel. So why again and what for we use, pthread_cond_wait( ).
