group ov_dev_api_threading

Threading API providing task executors for asynchronous operations.

Typedefs

using Task = std::function<void()>#: OpenVINO Task Executor can use any copyable callable without parameters and output as a task. It would be wrapped into std::function object.

template<typename T> using ThreadLocal = tbb::enumerable_thread_specific<T>#

A wrapper class to keep object to be thread local.

Template Parameters:: T – A type of object to keep thread local.

class ImmediateExecutor : public ov::threading::ITaskExecutor #

#include <immediate_executor.hpp>

Task executor implementation that just run tasks in current thread during calling of run() method.

Public Types

using Ptr = std::shared_ptr<ImmediateExecutor>#: A shared pointer to a ImmediateExecutor object.

Public Functions

~ImmediateExecutor() override = default#: Destroys the object.

inline virtual void run(Task task) override#

Execute ov::Task inside task executor context.

Parameters:: task – A task to start

class CPUStreamsExecutor : public ov::threading::IStreamsExecutor #

#include <cpu_streams_executor.hpp>

CPU Streams executor implementation. The executor splits the CPU into groups of threads, that can be pinned to cores or NUMA nodes. It uses custom threads to pull tasks from single queue.

interface ExecutorManager#

#include <executor_manager.hpp>

Interface for tasks execution manager. This is global point for getting task executor objects by string id. It’s necessary in multiple asynchronous requests for having unique executors to avoid oversubscription. E.g. There 2 task executors for CPU device: one - in FPGA, another - in OneDNN. Parallel execution both of them leads to not optimal CPU usage. More efficient to run the corresponding tasks one by one via single executor.

struct MessageInfo#: #include <istreams_executor.hpp>

interface ITaskExecutor#

#include <itask_executor.hpp>

Interface for Task Executor. OpenVINO uses ov::ITaskExecutor interface to run all asynchronous internal tasks. Different implementations of task executors can be used for different purposes:

To improve cache locality of memory bound CPU tasks some executors can limit task’s affinity and maximum concurrency.
The executor with one worker thread can be used to serialize access to acceleration device.
Immediate task executor can be used to satisfy ov::ITaskExecutor interface restrictions but run tasks in current thread.

Synchronization#

It is ov::ITaskExecutor user responsibility to wait for task execution completion. The c++11 standard way to wait task completion is to use std::packaged_task or std::promise with std::future. Here is an example of how to use std::promise to wait task completion and process task’s exceptions:

    // std::promise is move only object so to satisfy copy callable constraint we use std::shared_ptr
    auto promise = std::make_shared<std::promise<void>>();
    // When the promise is created we can get std::future to wait the result
    auto future = promise->get_future();
    // Rather simple task
    ov::threading::Task task = [] {
        std::cout << "Some Output" << std::endl;
    };
    // Create an executor
    ov::threading::ITaskExecutor::Ptr taskExecutor =
        std::make_shared<ov::threading::CPUStreamsExecutor>(ov::threading::IStreamsExecutor::Config{});
    if (taskExecutor == nullptr) {
        // ProcessError(e);
        return;
    }
    // We capture the task and the promise. When the task is executed in the task executor context
    // we munually call std::promise::set_value() method
    taskExecutor->run([task, promise] {
        std::exception_ptr currentException;
        try {
            task();
        } catch(...) {
            // If there is some exceptions store the pointer to current exception
            currentException = std::current_exception();
        }

        if (nullptr == currentException) {
            promise->set_value();  //  <-- If there is no problems just call std::promise::set_value()
        } else {
            promise->set_exception(currentException);    //  <-- If there is an exception forward it to std::future object
        }
    });
    // To wait the task completion we call std::future::wait method
    future.wait();  //  The current thread will be blocked here and wait when std::promise::set_value()
                    //  or std::promise::set_exception() method will be called.

    // If the future store the exception it will be rethrown in std::future::get method
    try {
        future.get();
    } catch(std::exception& /*e*/) {
        // ProcessError(e);
    }

Note

Implementation should guaranty thread safety of all methods

Public Types

using Ptr = std::shared_ptr<ITaskExecutor>#: A shared pointer to ITaskExecutor interface

Public Functions

virtual ~ITaskExecutor() = default#: Destroys the object.

virtual void run(Task task) = 0#

Execute ov::Task inside task executor context.

Parameters:: task – A task to start

virtual void run_and_wait(const std::vector<Task> &tasks)#

Execute all of the tasks and waits for its completion. Default run_and_wait() method implementation uses run() pure virtual method and higher level synchronization primitives from STL. The task is wrapped into std::packaged_task which returns std::future. std::packaged_task will call the task and signal to std::future that the task is finished or the exception is thrown from task Than std::future is used to wait for task execution completion and task exception extraction.

Note

run_and_wait() does not copy or capture tasks!

Parameters:: tasks – A vector of tasks to execute
