Overview

A synchronization aid that allows a set of threads to all wait for each other to reach a common barrier point.

Examples:

barrier = Concurrent::CyclicBarrier.new(3)
jobs    = Array.new(3) { |i| -> { sleep i; p done: i } }
process = -> (i) do
  # waiting to start at the same time
  barrier.wait
  # execute job
  jobs[i].call
  # wait for others to finish
  barrier.wait
end
threads = 2.times.map do |i|
  Thread.new(i, &process)
end

# use main as well
process.call 2

# here we can be sure that all jobs are processed

Constructor Details

#initialize(parties) { ... } ⇒ CyclicBarrier

Create a new ‘CyclicBarrier` that waits for `parties` threads

Parameters:

  • parties (Fixnum) —

    the number of parties

Yields:

  • an optional block that will be executed that will be executed after the last thread arrives and before the others are released

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError) —

    if ‘parties` is not an integer or is less than zero

Instance Method Details

#broken? ⇒ Boolean

A barrier can be broken when:

  • a thread called the ‘reset` method while at least one other thread was waiting

  • at least one thread timed out on ‘wait` method

A broken barrier can be restored using ‘reset` it’s safer to create a new one

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true if the barrier is broken otherwise false

def broken?
  synchronize { @generation.status != :waiting }
end

#number_waiting ⇒ Fixnum

Returns the number of threads currently waiting on the barrier.

Returns:

  • (Fixnum) —

    the number of threads currently waiting on the barrier

def number_waiting
  synchronize { @number_waiting }
end

#parties ⇒ Fixnum

Returns the number of threads needed to pass the barrier.

Returns:

  • (Fixnum) —

    the number of threads needed to pass the barrier

def parties
  synchronize { @parties }
end

#reset ⇒ nil

resets the barrier to its initial state If there is at least one waiting thread, it will be woken up, the ‘wait` method will return false and the barrier will be broken If the barrier is broken, this method restores it to the original state

Returns:

  • (nil)

def reset
  synchronize { ns_generation_done @generation, :reset }
end

#wait(timeout = nil) ⇒ Boolean

Blocks on the barrier until the number of waiting threads is equal to ‘parties` or until `timeout` is reached or `reset` is called If a block has been passed to the constructor, it will be executed once by

the last arrived thread before releasing the others

Parameters:

  • timeout (Fixnum) (defaults to: nil) —

    the number of seconds to wait for the counter or ‘nil` to block indefinitely

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    ‘true` if the `count` reaches zero else false on `timeout` or on `reset` or if the barrier is broken
