Detailed Description

A class for performing multithreaded execution.

vtkMultithreader is a class that provides support for multithreaded execution using sproc() on an SGI, or pthread_create on any platform supporting POSIX threads. This class can be used to execute a single method on multiple threads, or to specify a method per thread.

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class.

Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkObjectBase.

void vtkMultiThreader::PrintSelf	(	ostream &	os,
		vtkIndent	indent
	)

overridevirtual

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses.

Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from vtkObjectBase.

virtual void vtkMultiThreader::SetNumberOfThreads ( int )

virtual

Get/Set the number of threads to create.

It will be clamped to the range 1 - VTK_MAX_THREADS, so the caller of this method should check that the requested number of threads was accepted.

virtual int vtkMultiThreader::GetNumberOfThreads ( )

virtual

Get/Set the number of threads to create.

It will be clamped to the range 1 - VTK_MAX_THREADS, so the caller of this method should check that the requested number of threads was accepted.

static void vtkMultiThreader::SetGlobalMaximumNumberOfThreads ( int val )

static

Set/Get the maximum number of threads to use when multithreading.

This limits and overrides any other settings for multithreading. A value of zero indicates no limit.

static int vtkMultiThreader::GetGlobalMaximumNumberOfThreads ( )

static

Set/Get the maximum number of threads to use when multithreading.

This limits and overrides any other settings for multithreading. A value of zero indicates no limit.

static void vtkMultiThreader::SetGlobalDefaultNumberOfThreads ( int val )

static

Set/Get the value which is used to initialize the NumberOfThreads in the constructor.

Initially this default is set to the number of processors or VTK_MAX_THREADS (which ever is less).

static int vtkMultiThreader::GetGlobalDefaultNumberOfThreads ( )

static

Set/Get the value which is used to initialize the NumberOfThreads in the constructor.

Initially this default is set to the number of processors or VTK_MAX_THREADS (which ever is less).

void vtkMultiThreader::SingleMethodExecute ( )

Execute the SingleMethod (as define by SetSingleMethod) using this->NumberOfThreads threads.

void vtkMultiThreader::MultipleMethodExecute ( )

Execute the MultipleMethods (as define by calling SetMultipleMethod for each of the required this->NumberOfThreads methods) using this->NumberOfThreads threads.

void vtkMultiThreader::SetSingleMethod	(	vtkThreadFunctionType	,
		void *	data
	)

Set the SingleMethod to f() and the UserData field of the ThreadInfo that is passed to it will be data.

This method (and all the methods passed to SetMultipleMethod) must be of type vtkThreadFunctionType and must take a single argument of type void *.

void vtkMultiThreader::SetMultipleMethod	(	int	index,
		vtkThreadFunctionType	,
		void *	data
	)

Set the MultipleMethod at the given index to f() and the UserData field of the ThreadInfo that is passed to it will be data.

int vtkMultiThreader::SpawnThread	(	vtkThreadFunctionType	,
		void *	data
	)

Create a new thread for the given function.

Return a thread id which is a number between 0 and VTK_MAX_THREADS - 1. This id should be used to kill the thread at a later time.

void vtkMultiThreader::TerminateThread ( int thread_id )

Terminate the thread that was created with a SpawnThreadExecute()

int vtkMultiThreader::IsThreadActive ( int threadID )

Determine if a thread is still active.

static vtkMultiThreaderIDType vtkMultiThreader::GetCurrentThreadID ( )

static

Get the thread identifier of the calling thread.

static int vtkMultiThreader::ThreadsEqual	(	vtkMultiThreaderIDType	t1,
		vtkMultiThreaderIDType	t2
	)

static

Check whether two thread identifiers refer to the same thread.
