August 03, 2010 running pure functions in parallel | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
I'm designing an application which needs to process a lot of data as quickly as possible. I've found that I can engineer the processing algorithms into pure functions which can operate on different segments of my data. I would like to run these functions in parallel but: spawn() precludes returning a value the docs seem to be silent on the possibility of using out parameters Do I have to use messaging passing to get a value out of a pure function being run in a separate thread? |

Currently, the D standard library (phobos) does not support futures, but David Simcha's parallelFuture does: http://dsource.org/projects/scrapple/browser/trunk/parallelFuture I would believe this is roughly what you're looking for. -- Simen |
