threadpool

I need to manage CPU-heavy multitaskable jobs in an interactive application. Just as background, my specific application is an engineering design interface. As a user tweaks different parameters and options to a model, multiple simulations are run in the background and results displayed as they complete, likely even as the user is still editing values. Since the multiple simulations take variable time (some are milliseconds, some take 5 seconds, some take 10 minutes), it's basically a matter of getting feedback displayed as fast as possible, but often aborting jobs that started previously but

After spending lots of time with threadpool concepts and by reading different codes on numbers of blogs and posting questions on Stackoverflow.com, now I got clear image of this concept. But in the meanwhile, I found some doubts in code. When pool.assign(new TestWorkerThread()); executes in TestThreadPool Class, it calls done.workerBegin(); method that is in Done Class , where it increments _activeThreads variable. But what I thinks is, LOGICALLY that is not correct because if number of threads are less(in this case 2) than number of tasks (given in TestThreadPool Class )(in this case 5), it

I'm writing a poor mans load tester and I thought I was managing my resources correctly (thread pool) but when I run the following code I get an OutOfMemoryException on my call to WebClient.DownloadStringAsynch. Using .net4.0 but could move to 4.5. ASKs: What is the fix? How could I use HttpWebRequest and send that asynch as an alternative to webclient? What about using .net 4.5 using await (any difference with how .net4 manages threads with asynch calls? static void Main(string[] args) { System.Net.ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit = 200; while (true) { for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)

Basically I want start a few threads which execute serially one after the another. I'm using Thread.join() for it. But the application kinds of hangs out and goes in ANR state. I want to know that putting an AsyncTask inside a loop will execute all the tasks serially one after the another or will they be executing parallelly??? for(String s : list) { new asynctask(s).execute(); } Basically I want start a few threads which execute serially one after the another. The thing immediately comes to my mind after reading this statement is You should consider using IntentService Rather than Creating

If I set the CurrentCulture of a thread pool thread, what happens when the thread finishes execution and gets returned back to the thread pool? Does it get its CurrentCulture reset back to the default (whatever that may mean), or will it retain the culture I have set on it? I'm hoping that the framework resets the thread to a default state to guard against this, but cannot find any documentation to this effect. The closest I have found is from the MSDN docs for ThreadPool : When the thread pool reuses a thread, it does not clear the data in thread local storage or in fields that are marked

I have a code which when run, it executes series of lines in sequence. I would like to add a pause in between. Currently, I have it like this //do work Thread.Sleep(10800000); //do work This however freezes the software, and I think it's because sleep time is way too long. I searched online and I found another work around called Timer. Can someone show me a sample code for Timer which works just like Thread.sleep? Thank you in advance. Edit : I need the software to wait for 3 hours before proceeding with rest of the code execution. This software is meant to communicate with machines, and I

I am currently using CompletableFuture supplyAsync() method for submitting some tasks to common thread pool. Here is what code snippet looks like: final List<CompletableFuture<List<Test>>> completableFutures = resolvers.stream() .map(resolver -> supplyAsync(() -> task.doWork())) .collect(toList()); CompletableFuture.allOf(completableFutures.toArray(new CompletableFuture[completableFutures.size()])).join(); final List<Test> tests = new ArrayList<>(); completableFutures.stream() .map(completableFuture -> completableFuture.getNow()) .forEach(tests::addAll); I would like to know how below differs

In the context of a console application making use of async/await constructs, I would like to know if it's possible for "continuations" to run in parallel on multiple threads on different CPUs. I think this is the case, as continuations are posted on the default task scheduler (no SynchronizationContext in console app), which is the thread pool. I know that async/await construct do not construct any additional thread. Still there should be at least one thread constructed per CPU by the thread pool, and therefore if continuations are posted on the thread pool, it could schedule task
