I'm interested in getting threading into the small engine I'm working on in my spare time, but I'm curious over what the best approuch is. I'm curious about the recommended way to sync the physics thread with the rest of the engine, similar to ThisGuy. I'm working with the Bullet Physics SDK, which already use the data copy method he was...

I have an Observer class and a Subscriber class. For testing purposes, the observer creates a thread that generates fake messages and calls CServerCommandObserver::NotifySubscribers(), which looks like this: void CServerCommandObserver::NotifySubscribers(const Command cmd, void const * const pData) { // Executed in worker thread // ...
I have a threaded Python daemon. Like any good daemon, it wants to launch all of its worker threads, then wait around until it's told to terminate. The normal signal for termination is SIGTERM, and in most languages I'd hold to terminate by waiting on an event or mutex, so using threading.Event made sense to me. The problem is that Pytho...

Recently I read an interesting blog comparing mutex and semaphore: " http://www.feabhas.com/blog/2009/09/mutex-vs-semaphores-%E2%80%93-part-1-semaphores/ " Quote from it: " If a context switch happens while that task is in the critical region, and another task also calls on P(S), then that second task (and any subsequent tasks) will b...
Ruby 1.8 uses userspace threads, not operating system threads. This means that Ruby 1.8 can only utilize a single CPU core no matter how many Ruby threads you create. On the bright side, not all is bad. Ruby 1.8 internally uses non-blocking I/O while Ruby 1.9 unlocks the global interpreter lock while doing I/O. So if one Ruby thr...
