| 20 | +USAGE: |
| 21 | +This API has easy to use, lightweight and platform independent parallel |
| 22 | +processing API methods. |
| 23 | +
|
| 24 | +As an example, assuming that you need to run a procedure 10 times in parallel, |
| 25 | +you can create 10 thread workers as follows: |
| 26 | +FProcs := TNeuralThreadList.Create( 10 ); |
| 27 | +
|
| 28 | +As an example, this is the procedure that we intend to run in parallel: |
| 29 | +procedure MyClassName.RunNNThread(index, threadnum: integer); |
| 30 | +begin |
| 31 | + WriteLn('This is thread ',index,' out of ',threadnum,' threads.'); |
| 32 | +end; |
| 33 | +
|
| 34 | +Then, to run the procedure RunNNThread passed as parameter 10 times in parallel, do this: |
| 35 | +FProcs.StartProc({$IFDEF FPC}@RunNNThread{$ELSE}RunNNThread{$ENDIF}); |
| 36 | +
|
| 37 | +You can control the blocking mode (waiting threads to finish |
| 38 | +before the program continues) as per declaration: |
| 39 | +procedure StartProc(pProc: TNeuralProc; pBlock: boolean = true); |
| 40 | +
|
| 41 | +Or, if you prefer, you can specifically say when to wait for threads to finish |
| 42 | +as per this example: |
| 43 | +FProcs.StartProc({$IFDEF FPC}@RunNNThread{$ELSE}RunNNThread{$ENDIF}, false); |
| 44 | +// insert your code here |
| 45 | +FProcs.WaitForProc(); // waits until all threads are finished. |
| 46 | +
|
| 47 | +When you are done, you should call: |
| 48 | +FProcs.Free; |
