(* $Id$ *) (* Chameneos game implemented with message passing see http://cedric.cnam.fr/PUBLIS/RC474.pdf http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/benchmark.php?test=chameneosredux&lang=all This solution does not claim to be fast in any way. It is just a coding example. In particular, message passing is not optimal here because the messages are very short (and thus the whole message copying machinery consumes a lot of setup time relative to total time), and the worker processes do almost nothing (Color.complement). So this program tests mostly the bare minimum time needed for synchronization, but for any real-world example it will be much better. *) open Printf let spell_int i = let spell_char = function | '0' -> "zero" | '1' -> "one" | '2' -> "two" | '3' -> "three" | '4' -> "four" | '5' -> "five" | '6' -> "six" | '7' -> "seven" | '8' -> "eight" | '9' -> "nine" | x -> failwith "unexpected char" in let s = string_of_int i in String.iter (fun c -> printf " %s" (spell_char c)) s; module Color = struct type t = | Blue | Red | Yellow let complement t t' = match t, t' with | Blue, Blue -> Blue | Blue, Red -> Yellow | Blue, Yellow -> Red | Red, Blue -> Yellow | Red, Red -> Red | Red, Yellow -> Blue | Yellow, Blue -> Red | Yellow, Red -> Blue | Yellow, Yellow -> Yellow let to_string = function | Blue -> "blue" | Red -> "red" | Yellow -> "yellow" let all = [ Blue; Red; Yellow ] end module Chameneos_type = struct type t = { id : int; mutable color : Color.t; mutable meetings : int; mutable meetings_with_self : int; } end module Meeting_place = struct (* In this solution the meeting place is an independent process to which messages are sent (i.e. no "monitor" as suggested by the original article) *) module Id_var = Netplex_sharedvar.Make_var_type(struct type t = Netmcore.res_id end) let get_box_id_var (`Process pid) = sprintf "Meeting_place.box.%d" pid let set_box_id pid box_id = let box_id_var = get_box_id_var pid in ignore(Netplex_sharedvar.create_var ~enc:true box_id_var); Id_var.set box_id_var box_id let get_box_id pid = let box_id_var = get_box_id_var pid in ignore(Netplex_sharedvar.create_var ~enc:true box_id_var); ignore(Netplex_sharedvar.wait_for_enc_value box_id_var); Id_var.get box_id_var type config = { num_slots : int; (* #slots of the box *) meetings : int; } type meet_request = { me : Chameneos_type.t; response_box : Netmcore.res_id; } type request = | Meet_request of meet_request | Shutdown type response = { mate_opt : Chameneos_type.t option } (* None = all meetings done *) type state = | Empty | First of int * meet_request (* slot, request *) let meeting_place config = let (box : request ref Netcamlbox.camlbox), box_id = Netmcore_camlbox.create_camlbox "chameneos" config.num_slots 512 in (* 512: just an upper limit for the message size *) (* Put the ID of the box into a global variable, so all workers can get it from there *) let pid = Netmcore.self_process_id() in set_box_id pid box_id; let response_boxes = Hashtbl.create 29 in let get_response_box id = try Hashtbl.find response_boxes id with Not_found -> let b = Netmcore_camlbox.lookup_camlbox_sender (`Resource id) in Hashtbl.add response_boxes id b; (b : response Netcamlbox.camlbox_sender) in let meetings_left = ref config.meetings in let state = ref Empty in let live = ref true in while !live do let req_slots = Netcamlbox.camlbox_wait box in List.iter (fun req_slot -> let req = !(Netcamlbox.camlbox_get box req_slot) in (* no copy!
