D.2.13.8 waitTasks
Procedure from library tasks.lib (see tasks_lib).
- Usage:
- waitTasks(T, N[, timeout]), T list of tasks, N int, timeout int
- Return:
- an ordered list of the indices of those tasks which have been
successfully completed. The state of these tasks is set to
'completed'.
The procedure waits for N tasks to complete.
An optional timeout in ms can be provided. Default is 0 which
disables the timeout.
- Note:
- A task whose state is neither 'started' nor 'completed' cannot be
waited for.
The result of any completed task can be accessed via getResult.
The returned list may contain more than N entries if the computation
of some tasks has already finished and/or if several tasks finish
"at the same time". It may contain less than N entries in
the case of timeout or errors occurring.
Polling is guaranteed, i.e. the index of any task t for which
'pollTask(t);' would return 1 will appear in the returned list.
Example:
| LIB "tasks.lib";
ring R = 0, (x,y), dp;
ideal I = x9y2+x10, x2y7-y8;
task t1 = "std", list(I);
task t2 = "slimgb", list(I);
startTasks(t1, t2);
waitTasks(list(t1, t2), 2); // wait for both tasks
==> [1]:
==> 1
==> [2]:
==> 2
getResult(t1);
==> _[1]=x2y7-y8
==> _[2]=x9y2+x10
==> _[3]=x12y+xy11
==> _[4]=x13-xy12
==> _[5]=y14+xy12
==> _[6]=xy13+y12
getResult(t2);
==> _[1]=x2y7-y8
==> _[2]=x9y2+x10
==> _[3]=x12y+xy11
==> _[4]=x13-xy12
==> _[5]=xy13+y12
==> _[6]=y14+xy12
killTask(t1);
killTask(t2);
