class IManualMultiThreadingConfig
#include <multi_threading_manual.hpp>

Defines an interface for all classes that allow to configure the multi-threading behavior of a parallelizable algorithm by manually specifying the number of threads to be used.

Subclassed by ManualMultiThreadingConfig

Public Functions

inline virtual ~IManualMultiThreadingConfig()
virtual uint32 getNumPreferredThreads() const = 0

Returns the number of preferred threads.

Returns:

The number of preferred threads or 0, if all available CPU cores are utilized

virtual IManualMultiThreadingConfig &setNumPreferredThreads(uint32 numPreferredThreads) = 0

Sets the number of preferred threads. If not enough CPU cores are available or if multi-threading support was disabled at compile-time, as many threads as possible will be used.

Parameters:

numPreferredThreads – The preferred number of threads. Must be at least 1 or 0, if all available CPU cores should be utilized

Returns:

A reference to an object of type IManualMultiThreadingConfig that allows further configuration of the multi-threading behavior

class ManualMultiThreadingConfig : public IMultiThreadingConfig, public IManualMultiThreadingConfig
#include <multi_threading_manual.hpp>

Allows to configure the multi-threading behavior of a parallelizable algorithm by manually specifying the number of threads to be used.

Public Functions

ManualMultiThreadingConfig()
virtual uint32 getNumPreferredThreads() const override

Returns the number of preferred threads.

Returns:

The number of preferred threads or 0, if all available CPU cores are utilized

virtual IManualMultiThreadingConfig &setNumPreferredThreads(uint32 numPreferredThreads) override

Sets the number of preferred threads. If not enough CPU cores are available or if multi-threading support was disabled at compile-time, as many threads as possible will be used.

Parameters:

numPreferredThreads – The preferred number of threads. Must be at least 1 or 0, if all available CPU cores should be utilized

Returns:

A reference to an object of type IManualMultiThreadingConfig that allows further configuration of the multi-threading behavior

virtual MultiThreadingSettings getSettings(const IFeatureMatrix &featureMatrix, uint32 numOutputs) const override

Determines and returns the settings to be used by parallelizable algorithms, depending on the available hardware and whether multi-threading support was enabled at compile-time.

Parameters:

  • featureMatrix – A reference to an object of type IFeatureMatrix that provides access to the feature values of the training examples

  • numOutputs – The total number of available outputs

Returns:

The MultiThreadingSettings to be used
