Implementing a synchronization barrier in Ruby

Question

I\'m trying to \"replicate\" the behaviour of CUDA\'s __synchtreads() function in Ruby. Specifically, I have a set of N threads that need to execut

Answer 1

There might be merits of having the threads wait for each other. But I think that it is cleaner to have the threads actually finish at "midpoint", because your question obviously impliest that the threads need each others' results at the "midpoint". Clean design solution would be to let them finish, deliver the result of their work, and start a brand new set of threads based on these.
