So to make it interesting, this version supports workers dynamically joining and parting, and uses the new (2013) ''core.async'' library to use Go-like channels.

Also, each worker passes a value to the checkpoint, so that some ''combine'' function could consume them once they're all received.

That said, here is an implementation of the task as stated. We start by defining a 'flag set' data structure (which is hopefully also useful for other problems), which allows us to express the checkpoint algorithm straightforwardly while being protected against the possibility of a task calling <code>deliver</code> or <code>leave</code> too many times. Note also that each task gets its own reference denoting its membership in the checkpoint group; thus it can only speak for itself and not break any global invariants.

* able to bulk-change all of them, and all this without allowing double-

This first solution is a simple interpretation of the task, starting a goroutine (worker) for each part, letting the workers run concurrently, and waiting for them to all indicate completion. This is efficient and idiomatic in Go.

import (

log.Println("assemble. cycle", c, "complete")

}

{{out}}

Sample run, with race detector option to show no race conditions detected.

Channels also synchronize, and in addition can send data. The solution shown here is very similar to the WaitGroup solution above but sends data on a channel to simulate a completed part. The channel operations provide synchronization and a WaitGroup is not needed.

import (

log.Println(a, "assembled. cycle", c, "complete")

}

This solution shows workers joining and leaving, although it is a rather different interpretation of the task.

<li>For effectful computations, you should use concurrent threads (forkIO and MVar from the module Control.Concurrent), software transactional memory (STM) or alternatives provided by other modules.</li>

</ul>

data Task a = Idle | Make a

main = workshop sum tasks

<p>The following version works with the concurrency model provided by the module Control.Concurrent</p>

<p>A workshop is an MVar that holds three values: the number of workers doing something, the number of workers ready for the next task and the total number of workers at the moment.</p>

<p>Other than the parallel version above, this code runs in the IO Monad and makes it possible to perform IO actions such as accessing the hardware. However, all actions must have the return type IO (). If the workers must return some useful values, the MVar should be extended with the necessary fields and the workers should use those fields to store the results they produce.</p>

<p>Note: This code has been tested on GHC 7.6.1 and will most probably not run under other Haskell implementations due to the use of some functions from the module Control.Concurrent. It won't work if compiled with the -O2 compiler switch. Compile with the -threaded compiler switch if you want to run the threads in parallel.</p>

For example:

Here, we had set up a loop which periodically tracked the time, and waited a second each time through the loop, and repeated the loop a number of times specified at task startup. We ran two tasks, to demonstrate that they were running side-by-side.

Julia has specific macros for checkpoint type synchronization. @async starts an asynchronous task, and multiple @async tasks can be synchronized by wrapping them within the @sync macro statement, which creates a checkpoint for all @async tasks.

PureBasic normally uses Semaphores and Mutex’s to synchronize parallel systems. This system only relies on semaphores between each thread and the controller (CheckPoint-procedure). For exchanging data a Mutex based message stack could easily be added, both synchronized according to this specific task or non-blocking if each worker could be allowed that freedom.

This implementation works by having a separate thread handle the synchronization (inter-thread message delivery already being serialized). The alternative, using a read-write mutex, is more complex and more likely to run into trouble with multi-core machines.

package require Thread

expr {[llength $members] > 0}

}

The consumer requests a part it doesn't have, waits for a part and puts the received part (which might not be the requested one (if buggy code)) in a bin and assembles the parts into a product.

Repeat until all requested products are made.

var requested=Atomic.Int(-1); // the id of the part the consumer needs

var pipe=Thread.Pipe(); // "conveyor belt" of parts to consumer

foreach n in (NUM_PARTS){ product[n]-=1 } // remove parts from bin

}

An AtomicInt is an integer that does its operations in an atomic fashion. It is used to serialize the producers and consumer.
