This project will not maintained, a new project will use instead@mcjxy/task-pool

Run out of the computer resource just in on process!

Use the --experimental-worker flag to run correctly, since this resource still experimental in NodeJs.

Introduction

If you want to run out of the computer resource, you need this.

Prerequisites

• NodeJs (v 10.15.0 or later)
• Npm

Installation

$ npm install @mcjxy/node-thread-pool [--save]

Examples

test.js

const ThreadPool = require('@mcjxy/node-thread-pool');
const path = require('path');

const threadPool = new ThreadPool(9, 200);
(async () => {
  for (let i = 0; i < 200; i++) {
    threadPool.dispatch(path.resolve(__dirname, './task.js'), i).then(v => {
      console.log('main: data ', v);
    }).catch(e => {
      console.log(e);
    });
  }
  await threadPool.wait();

  for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
    threadPool.dispatch(path.resolve(__dirname, './task.js'), i);
  }
  console.log('start cancel', (new Date()).toISOString());
  await threadPool.cancel();
  console.log('end cancel', (new Date()).toISOString());
})();

Note: If the thread count is more than 10, after you use the console.log in every thread, you will get a warnning: (node:9768) MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 error listeners added. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase limit. You can add "--trace-warnings" start option to check more information.

Note: Each thread has a separate global data

API

ThreadPool(threadNum, maxRunningTask)

the constructor, after you call this, thread pool are ready

• threadNum : integer Thread number of the pool. default is cpu number
• maxRunningTask : integer Max running tasks of all threads. 0 for unlimited. default is 0

ThreadPool.init(timeout)

wait until pool init end. You don't need to call this function unless you want your task to be executed immediately after call dispatch at the first time

• timeout : integer The max time to wait in second. default is infinite.
• return : promise Wait until pool init end, or catch the timeout error

ThreadPool.dispatch(file, ...args)

dispatch a task, the tasks will add to the queue until any worker can run the task

• file : string Javascript absolute file path, it should export a function which accept two parameter, method(threadID, ...args)
• args : A list of args which will be trans to the method of the js file
• return : promise You can use this to get task return data

ThreadPool.wait(timeout)

wait until all the tasks run end

• timeout : integer The max time to wait in second. default is infinite.
• return : promise Wait tasks run end, or catch the timeout error

ThreadPool.cancel(timeout)

cancel the tasks which are not running, and wait until all the running tasks run end

• timeout : integer The max time to wait in second. default is infinite.
• return : promise Wait cancel run end, or catch the timeout error
