如何:使用 parallel_invoke 来执行并行操作

此示例演示如何使用 concurrency::parallel_invoke 算法提高对共享数据源执行多项操作的程序的性能。 因为没有操作会修改源,所以可以直接的方式并行执行。

示例:在变量上创建、初始化和执行操作

请考虑以下代码示例,该示例创建一个 MyDataType 类型的变量,调用函数来初始化该变量,然后对该数据执行多个长时操作。

MyDataType data;
initialize_data(data);

lengthy_operation1(data);
lengthy_operation2(data);
lengthy_operation3(data);

如果 lengthy_operation1lengthy_operation2lengthy_operation3 函数不修改 MyDataType 变量,则可以并行执行这些函数,而无需进行其他修改。

示例:并行运行上一个示例

以下示例修改上一个示例以并行运行。 parallel_invoke 算法并行执行每个任务,并在完成所有任务后返回。

MyDataType data;
initialize_data(data);

concurrency::parallel_invoke(
   [&data] { lengthy_operation1(data); },
   [&data] { lengthy_operation2(data); },
   [&data] { lengthy_operation3(data); }
);

示例:对下载的文件执行多个操作

以下示例从 gutenberg.org 下载 Homer 的 The Iliad,并对该文件执行多个操作。 该示例首先串行执行这些操作,然后并行执行相同的操作。

此示例生成以下示例输出。

Downloading 'The Iliad'...

Running serial version... took 953 ms.
Running parallel version... took 656 ms.

The most common words that have five or more letters are:
    their (953)
    shall (444)
    which (431)
    great (398)
    Hector (349)
    Achilles (309)
    through (301)
    these (268)
    chief (259)
The longest sequence of words that have the same first letter is:
    through the tempest to the tented
The following palindromes appear in the text:
    spots stops
    speed deeps
    keels sleek

该示例使用 parallel_invoke 算法调用对同一数据源执行操作的多个函数。 可以使用 parallel_invoke 算法并行调用任意函数集,而不仅仅是对相同数据执行操作的函数集。

由于 parallel_invoke 算法并行调用每个工作函数,因此其性能受完成时间最长的函数的限制(即如果运行时在单独的处理器上处理每个函数)。 如果此示例并行执行的任务数超过可用的处理器数量,则每个处理器上可以运行多个任务。 在这种情况下,性能受完成时间最长的任务组的限制。

由于此示例并行执行三个任务,因此不应期望在具有三个以上处理器的计算机上缩放性能。 为了提高性能,可以将运行时间最长的任务分解为较小的任务,并行运行这些任务。

如果你无需取消支持,则可以使用 parallel_invoke 算法而不是 concurrency::task_groupconcurrency::structured_task_group 类。 有关比较 parallel_invoke 算法与任务组用法的示例,请参阅操作说明:使用 parallel_invoke 编写并行排序例程
