I have been reading up on the parallel programming and even now still a little confused on the whole concepts. Lets say I have a single project with about 5 classes that interact and have local variables in methods and variables accessible to all methods in a single class and even 1 or 2 variables accessible to all classes accessed through instantiation. Now using threads I know that global variables would be overridden by multiple threads if there were no locking applied but local variables to a method/function do not, right?
So if I ran the project multiple times meaning as a new process, the methods and variables would be thread safe right and no data corruption occurs? So to implement parallel programming using the task factory, if I created a project that basically creates tasks and each task is basically running an instance of another project, then shouldn't the variables and data be thread safe and safe from corruption? But what if I had the output files and they named by Output & datetime.now.tostring, would there be conflict issues and I ask this knowing that I have seen this happen when trying it. [Code]
im using tasks parallel library in .net 4.0 i want to have the ability to specify a task for each core independant of the other cores. usually in TPL, i create a task and i tell it to run in parallel, i have no control over the number of threads created nor can i control the number of cores to participate in the parallel task. also, i cant specify each particular core a different task.i'd like to know how to achieve this in TPL if it is possible.
I've got a general question about improving performance and load times in a vb6 converted program. With .net you can easily tell load times have increased and I was looking around at improvements to lower load times and was wondering if this would help reduce load times? I've heard it CAN significantly reduce load times so it was the first thing I looked into. The program has around 200 windows so it is going to be a huge task if it does indeed work well with it. What are some requirements to use this? What are some other improvements that could happen from a vb6 converted project?
I am new to VB and am needing to write to the parallel port. I am using a laptop so have got a USB to parallel port converter and need to know how to write to it using VB (I am using Visual Basic Express 2010)
I am trying to access the parallel port and want to on off an LED connected to the parallel port. i have read from different tutorials and write the code. but it is not working.
vb.net
Option Strict Off Option Explicit On Module InpOut32_Declarations
I have a service that scans network folders using a parallel.for method. However recently I am finding if I stop the service then while windows says the service is stopped the process is still running in task manager. However it is at 0 cpu and the memory does not change. If I try and end the task (even a force in command prompt) it just says access denied and i have to reboot the server. What would be the best way to make sure everything terminates? I thought of adding a global Boolean that in the stop procedure it turns true and part of my parallel code will check for that and call s.stop.
I have recently taken a liking to programming, and have programmed a few games in C#,my friend has asked me to program an application for him to use in his shop. But I have no idea of what language is best suitable?
I avidly create games in VB.net. Being a hobby programmer I give my games away for free. Since I'm a hobbiest without formal training I do try and educate myself on proper programming principles and follow them when programming such as OOP. There are however some things I have obviously missed being self-taught that perhaps I would know if I were formally educated. Once such issue that has really been my bane is how different classes (from now on referred to as objects) 'know' about each other WITHOUT programming specific interaction.
Okay imagine this, you have a space game and the following objects
[CODE]...............
Now each one of these objects has a Health, X,Y and Z private members and properties that are all inherited from clsSpaceEntity for argument sake. Now one way of programming collision between them would be to code out the following logic in the main game loop
[CODE].........................
Now this might seam okay if your talking about the simple example above but some of my games have tens or even HUNDREDS of objects that interact in this basic way. Is there a way in OOP to do the following... for each thing that inherits from clsSpaceEntity check against every other object that inherits this type (except itself) and if they collide then reduce health next? This sort of ability for a type of objects/class or whatever to be 'aware' of another and how they are the same/different and interact would save me tonnes and tonnes and TONNES of coding.

I suspect this is because it's trying to add the same row twice. How can i make this work ? Or what else method could I use to do this ?
I need this datatable because my app is writing some results in there, but any other method to store the results that works with parallel.for would be ok.
I have a class written in C#. In it I want to run a certain function in parallel on a list. After it completes on each item I would like to update a progress bar. However, I get very odd behavior from my program. It executes the event and reaches my sub but never proceeds to actually execute any code. Instead it just freezes. (I've mixed vb.net and c#. It will be rewritten at some point)[code]So for some reason I get it to enter progressBar Counter on each item in the list but it never exists. Instead it just keeps the form frozen.
Im trying to learn how to use a Parallel.For loop. Ive got a big for loop, that i need to run parallel, and am trying to use a Parallel.For loop for the first time. When I try using this code, I get that it cant be called using these arguments. The old way to write this would be:[code]I dont need to return anything to the for loop, Im just trying to iterate m, running in parallel. Where am I going wrong?
Those are the two arrays now when i try array.sort(strflavor,decamountsold) or array.sort(decamountsold,strflavor) they are not arraigned properly. I am trying to get them to sort by which flavor sold the least and which flavor sold the most. However when i sort them, the flavors are not matching up with the decimal values.
I prepare data to be processed, and saved to file. Since this process is slow, I want to delegate it to a parallel thread, so the main routine can end his work faster. The data is processed and saved to file by the "Sub ProcesarDatos", a routine on his instance of "FileProcessor class".
I call the code this way: Dim fp As New FileProcessor(DatosDeArchivo, Archivo & ".txt", Me) ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem (NewSystem.Threading.WaitCallback _ AddressOffp.ProcesarDatos))
i am trying to make a robot that i can talk to(not yet) and tell it to goto places 1st task it to figure out how to use an inbuilt webcam in my net book and do an image Recognition for walls stars eg 2nd task is to see if i can get it to use my server to help compute the images because my net book is very slow 3rd is speech to text now can all of these be done in vb.net?
I recently changed a For Each loop to a Parallel.ForEach loop. I'm concerned about an object being declared outside the loop but assigned while iterating in the loop. Here is the simplified code.
Dim results As ModelResults Dim noResultsModel As New List(Of ModelResults) Dim lock As New Object Parallel.ForEach(_modelEngines, Sub(model)
[Code]...
Is there a potential race condition with the results object? Would anything be different if I moved the declaration of results into the for loop?
is there any other way to access a serial port using visual basic.net 2010? i followed the steps in this site, How to access serial and parallel ports by using Visual Basic .NET but i just got this output Open the serial port. Send the attention command to the modem. Wait for data to come back to the serial port...
I just learned basic arrays, I'm writing a program the allows Professor Carver to display a grade based on the number of possible points he enters in the inputbox (strMax). Then the user enters the points he earned in the textbox (dblPoints)
Then I solve the percentage. dblResults = dblPoints/CDbl(strMax) The first step is to store the minimum percentage points in one dimensional array. I did that. The second step is to store the grades in one dimensional array. I did that. The arrays should be parallel arrays. Having trouble with it It then should display the corresponding grade from the strGrades array Not done. I'm having trouble to display arrays in that are parallel.
i want to work with it in vb. 1st i want to check if port is already mapped or not, if not then map it and once done remove the mapping. The one way is using shell and pass command in it, but not sure how to get already map status and also wondering if there is any other method to get it done.n :)
I have a program that connect to 2 printers at the same time. Ribbon Printer and Label printer.
I have set the ribbon printer to be the default printer of the server so that normal document printing can be printed using it. This is very simple and i already finsih the code for it.
However i have a Parallel printer at Port LPT1 which i wish to use it to print label. I have search online but find no solution on how to open connection to LPT1 and print the document in coding.What i can find i only send a window command to the port LPT
I am trying to convert the code below into a parallel loop. What is the proper syntax to use Parallel.ForEach instead of just ForEach? For Each grow As GridViewRow In gvEmployees.Rows SendSummaryReport(grow) Next
I'm deploying a standalone application (VB 2005 w/ Crystal Reports) using ClickOnce. My users have different IP addresses that they use to map to the same networked drive. The best way I've come up with to get the installer out to them is to publish it twice manually: ip.addr.number.001/PublishedHere/001/setup.exe ip.addr.number.002/PublishedHere/002/setup.exe And telling them to execute the appropriate installer.
getting started with creating an index search for parallel arrays. When the user enters the specific "code", and presses enter, the information in the other arrays should be displayed based on its matching index. I'm pretty sure I use "For i = " but I'm lost. I have my arrays set up like this:
