Exercise 1
Idle-waiting Thread Joining
– It have as an objective to change the method “join” of a Thread. It was implemented like this:
[code lang=”c”] while(_state != FINISHING)
yield();
[/code]
This method consist in verify the state of the Thread that is joined, if the state is different from FINISHING, it calls yield(). This solution cause an overhead, because it do this verification all the time that the process is Phased. We should implement a new function, that don`t cause this overhead.
Modified files:
– thread.cc
– Thread.h
EPOS with our solution.
Steps, and explanation about other solutions (PORTUGUESE)
A piece that prompted a small mental rearrangement of how I order related ideas, and a look at staymotivatedalways extended that rearranging effect, content that affects the structure of my thinking rather than just adding to it is content with the deepest kind of impact and this site is reaching that depth for me today.
A piece that handled a controversial angle without becoming heated, and a look at rankquest continued that calm engagement, content that can address contested topics without inflaming them is doing rare diplomatic work and this site has clearly developed the editorial maturity to handle sensitive material with the appropriate temperature of writing throughout.
Took a screenshot of one section to come back to later, and a stop at linknudge prompted another saved tab, the urge to capture and revisit specific pieces of content is something I rarely feel but when I do it tells me the work is worth more than the average passing read for sure.
