Task.Run with Parameter(s)?

Question

I\'m working on a multi-tasking network project and I\'m new on Threading.Tasks. I implemented a simple Task.Factory.StartNew() and I wonder how ca

Answer 1

It's unclear if the original problem was the same problem I had: wanting to max CPU threads on computation inside a loop while preserving the iterator's value and keeping inline to avoid passing a ton of variables to a worker function.

for (int i = 0; i < 300; i++)
{
    Task.Run(() => {
        var x = ComputeStuff(datavector, i); // value of i was incorrect
        var y = ComputeMoreStuff(x);
        // ...
    });
}

I got this to work by changing the outer iterator and localizing its value with a gate.

for (int ii = 0; ii < 300; ii++)
{
    System.Threading.CountdownEvent handoff = new System.Threading.CountdownEvent(1);
    Task.Run(() => {
        int i = ii;
        handoff.Signal();

        var x = ComputeStuff(datavector, i);
        var y = ComputeMoreStuff(x);
        // ...

    });
    handoff.Wait();
}
