C :: Program That Uses A Single Thread And Is SLOW
Aug 27, 2013I am writing a program, the trouble is is that it uses a single thread and is SLOW.

View 10 RepliesIs there a good way to slow down program output? usleep and nanosleep don't slow it down enough, delay doesn't work, and sleep keeps freezing my program. I am using Linux since I think this makes a difference in what I have to use.

In my MainWindow I created instance of my class called "SerialPortComm", then I send through some functions of mine, commands to the Serial Port, and I receive answers through "DataReceived" event.
But when I trying to use Dispatcher.BeginInvoke to write my data I have received (successfully), nothing shows on the RichTextBox which I'm trying to write to.
What can caused that, and How I can make it works?
SerialPortComm.cs
public partial class SerialPortComm : UserControl {
public SerialPort mySerialPort = new SerialPort();
public void Open_Port(string comNumber, int baudRate) {
mySerialPort.PortName = comNumber;
mySerialPort.BaudRate = baudRate;

I am trying to do this:
while(1)
{
CaptureScreenshot (as BMP)
Convert screenshot to 24 bit instead of 32 bit
Resize screenshot size
Get the BMP bits array of the resized screenshot
}
I have it working but the best i could get is 18 iteration (screenshots) per second. This is what i do:
Code:
Start() {
ULONG_PTR gdiplusToken=0;
HDC mhCompatibleDC;
HBITMAP mhCompatibleBitmap;
HWND mhDesktopWnd;
HDC mhDesktopDC;
byte*piRGB=new byte[1200*900*3]
[Code] .....
Here i do things with piRGB but these things are not counted it the timer so you can assume here the code ends . As said as the code looks now, i can fill piRGB ~18 times (18loops) in 1 second. I must improve that...
I have to make my program display days 1-30 along side numbers increasing by 5 each day beginning with 6 on the first day. I wrote 2 for loops on separate tabs but now I want to know if its possible to combine them into 1.
For loop 1
int day,;
for (day = 1; day <=30; day = day + 1)
For loop 2
int candy;
for (int candy = 6; candy <=151; candy = candy +5)
I dumped all symbols into C:WindowsSymbols folder, It takes more than 2 minutes to load an application which really surprises me. Why and when should I use those symbols?

I have the following code below. I am getting a memory access violation when accessing cmd->query_string in the loop function. The loop() function is running in another thread. The cmd object appears to be destroyed after calling the send_command function. How do I create an object on the heap and access the query_string.
std::list<my_command_message_que*> my_command_que;
void loop(){
if(my_command_que.size() > 0){
my_command_message_que * cmd = my_command_que.front();
std::cout << cmd->query_string;

I've been using threading for a while, that was no needing parameters. so I used for example the following line :
_beginthread(functionName, 0, (void*)10);
and it worked great...
but now I have a function that has an int parameter (int num), and I dont know how to transfer it using _beginthread...
I was working on a problem that was best solved with chaining threads together using a blocking thread-safe queue. Eg threads A and B pass data to each other using a queue ... a simple producer consumer design A -> B. This has two benefits: 1) being that there is a buffer between the two threads to cache for a slow consumer and 2) allows for better throughput when loads of data are high because the two can run in parallel. Most of the time the design works well under load. but I found when pushing data through the threads intermittently, i.e. once about 0.5 seconds it ran poorly, mostly from what seemed to be latency introduced during the OS waking up of the consumer thread B.
What i have come up with to solve this issue is what i call an .... Its a wrapper around a basic thread safe queue and adds one extra function called .... The idea here is that if you have a simple case (or perhaps a slightly more complicated case) of two threads in a prod cons design and you know the producer will create or received the data, process it, and then push onto the queue, why not give the consumer thread a heads up to let it know the data is about to arrive. In this case call .... In this way you can have the consumer thread in a polling state anticipating the arrival of data and avoid the time to schedule it back to a running state.
Anyway, i have some code below and I was looking to get some feedback. I have tested it somewhat and it does improve the responsiveness quite substantially.
I don't know if I've setup the thread correctly or not, but its behavoir isn't what I'd expect. I'm creating the thread within a BN_CLICKED message
typedef struct my_TNFO {
HANDLE h_event;
HANDLE h_thread;
DWORD thread_id;
BOOL running;
BOOL init;
BOOL canceled;
[Code] ....
progd->count was devised to stop the thread when the recursion ended by posting a message to the main window. When it reaches 1, the def procedure sends the WMU_DISC_DONE message to set the event
All that *appears* to work; however, if I cancel the recursion thread, the list view continues to populate for a bit and then deletels all but 1 item though I send the message LVM_DELETEALLITEMS.
If I move the (tmp->canceled == TRUE) test inside of the do-while, the app gets loopy.
Startthread get called to launch to update list box.
a)is it the only way to pass string to the PostMessage?. my concern is that allocate using new in each iteration each time slows it down a bit.
b)does OnAddToListBox look memory leak free?.
c)What is the best way handle m_pThread at the end?. Any way to improve it?.
Code:
UINT CMyDlg::Dump(LPVOID lparam) {
HWND *pHndl = static_cast<HWND *>(lparam);
char buffer[200];
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
sprintf_s(buf,"user %d, data %s",i, "Connected");

I use MFC Find console window and send key to console like this.
Code:
HWND w;
w = FindWindow(NULL, L"c:userspkrudocumentsvisual studio 2010ProjectsCleanVirusDebugCleanVirus.exe");
[Code]....
After program process success in console it not close console windows but it show like this in Output
The thread 'Win32 Thread' (0x1300) has exited with code 0 (0x0).
I think if I can check when VC will show this line, then I can use FreeConsole(); for close console windows.
There are gnu thread, c thread, posix thread and win32 thread which all can be used on windows platform.
How, why and when do I need them?
Code:
#ifndef C_THREAD_H_
#define C_THREAD_H_
extern "C"
{
#include <cthread.h>

This simply won't compile with Visual C++ because there isn't any cthread.h header file there.
I want to add a timer(clock) to my application so that it displays the system time and refreshes every second.
I have this code but it only fires once.
// this is at the top of the application
Code:

_In_opt_ HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
_In_ LPTSTR lpCmdLine,
_In_ int nCmdShow)

But this code only fires once? How can I get this to fire every second (without locking up the entire application in between)....

I have a small problem with my program. It is kinda a mess but I will try to explain you what I am trying to do. I have some threads. One of it, it attempts to detect a game client. So my code is sort of like that:

void test() {
char* text;

So basically, its like the variable changes, but only inside the thread... why does that happen?
When I write a code in c++ includes thread library it says "thread:no such file or directory". How can ı use thread library .
I think I should download boost or c++11 but I couldn't do it .
I recently picked up multithreading with OpenMP, so it is still new to me. While processing data, I would like to store it in a vector, as shown here:
vector<int> vect;
#pragma omp parallel for
for(int c=0; c<500; ++c) {
vect.push_back(c)
}
However, since it is multithreaded, I would like (and need!) to have one dedicated vector per thread. I haven't been able to find an example of how to do this online. Is it even possible?
I have a function :
void UpdateNotefications(vector <string> &Notefic)
Where I change a vector...
I called it with a thread :
thread t1 (UpdateNotefications, Notefic);
t1.detach();
Though I see that inside the func, Notefic has a val, and outside, it is still empty (after the function is over)...
I have an issue where I iterate through devices and make driver API calls. Unfortunately, these calls take too much time and they are interrupting my real-time scheduler. I have 12 cores, of which one is 100% and the others are < 1%.
I'd like to multi-thread this thing. So far, I've replaced:
for (DeviceIterator d = devices.begin(); d != devices.end(); ++d) {
d->Write(words, numwords);
}
with
void* ThreadedWrite(void* p) {
WritePackage* wp = (WritePackage*)p;
wp->device->Write(wp->words, wp->numwords);
delete[] wp->words;
delete wp;

My problem is that this didn't improve performance at all. The main thread still takes too long to execute. Is there something I need to do to prevent the main thread from blocking?
I'm trying to create a thread to a class function, but it doesnt work for me...

There is a smart way to make a merge sort between 2 file already ordered? I had try it ,and above there is my result,it works but i think that it's possible to do it in a smart way...
the compiler doesnt accept void functions used with threads (for the first time and all of sudden!?)
#include <cstdlib>
#include <thread>
#include <windows.h>
[Code]....
this is a sigment of my code. Compiler says that the error occurs in line 47 (marked by ***). Leaving out the braces makes it even worse.
I am using thread on VC 2012 (very close to VC 2010). When the argument list is short, it works fine. However, when I add a function with more arguments, the compiler indicates "no thread constructor match the argument list....etc", and when I reduce the number of arguments, it works.
Is there a limit about thread constructor? I didn't see this in ISO C++11 standard. How can I fix this limit?
