多线程Conway的C ++生活游戏偶尔搭便车?

问题描述 投票:-1回答:1

为了实践,我实现了Conway的“C ++生活游戏”,并对通过并行处理处理的“世界”进行了更新。我正在使用SFML进行图形处理。

添加多线程确实使它运行得更快(至少在这个4核机器上),但我注意到它有问题。如果我在Visual Studio 2017的Debug配置中运行它似乎开始非常慢,但在运行2秒后它突然变得更快并且运行顺利。但是,如果我在Release配置中运行它然后它比Debug运行得更快但是每半秒左右它“拴住”或口吃并且不像我预期的那样平稳运行。

什么可能导致这两个行为问题,我该如何解决它们?

如果你要多线程游戏生活,你应该认真考虑双缓冲你的world状态。然后线程只读取共享状态,并且只有一个线程写入任何给定位置。

class GameOfLife
{
public:
    GameOfLife(sf::Vector2i size);
    void update();

private:
    void doUpdate(int start, int end);
    uint8_t& getCell(sf::Vector2i pos);
    sf::Vector2i getPos(int i);

    std::vector<uint8_t> world;
    std::vector<uint8_t> pendingWorld;
};

GameOfLife::GameOfLife(sf::Vector2i size)
  : worldSize(size), world(size.x * size.y, false), pendingWorld(world)
{
    // place a glider
    getCell({1, 3}) = true;
    getCell({2, 4}) = true;
    getCell({3, 2}) = true;
    getCell({3, 3}) = true;
    getCell({3, 4}) = true;

    // place a glider at top-center
    int midX = std::floor(worldSize.x / 2);
    getCell({midX + 1, 3}) = true;
    getCell({midX + 2, 4}) = true;
    getCell({midX + 3, 2}) = true;
    getCell({midX + 3, 3}) = true;
    getCell({midX + 3, 4}) = true;
}

uint8_t& GameOfLife::getCell(sf::Vector2i pos)
{
    return world[pos.y * worldSize.x + pos.x];
}

sf::Vector2i GameOfLife::get2D(int index)
{
    int y = index / worldSize.x;
    int x = index % worldSize.x;
    return { x, y };
}

// Update the cells from position start (inclusive) to position end (exclusive).
void GameOfLife::doUpdate(int start, int end)
{
    for (int i = start; i < end; i++)
    {
        auto pos = get2D(i);

        // # of alive neighbors
        int aliveCount = 0;

        // check all 8 surrounding neighbors
        for (sf::Vector2i dp : { {1, 1}, {1, 0}, {1, -1}, {0, 1}, {0, -1}, {-1, 1}, {-1, 0}, {-1, -1} })
        {
            auto np = pos + dp;    
            // wrap around to other side if neighbor would be outside world
            np.x %= worldSize.x;
            np.y %= worldSize.y;

            aliveCount += getCell(np);
        }

        // Evaluate game rules on current cell
        bool stays = aliveCount == 2 || aliveCount == 3;
        bool spawns = aliveCount == 3
        pendingWorld[i] = world[i] ? stays : spawns;
    }
}

void GameOfLife::update()
{
    unsigned maxThreads = std::thread::hardware_concurrency();

    // divide the grid into horizontal slices
    int chunkSize = world.size() / maxThreads;

    // split the work into threads
    std::vector<std::thread> threads;
    for (int i = 0; i < maxThreads; i++)
    {
        int start = i * chunkSize;
        int end = std::min(world.size(), (i + 1) * chunksize);

        threads.emplace_back(&GameOfLife::doUpdate, this, start, end);
    }

    for (std::thread & t : threads) {
        t.join();
    }

    // apply updates
    world.swap(pendingWorld);
}

如果你有一个C ++ 17编译器,我会避免使用显式线程,根据单个索引编写doUpdate,并调用std::for_each(std::execution::par_unseq, indexes.begin(), indexes.end(), [this](int i) { doUpdate(i); });
