23 <section id="GUID-BE13F08D-09FD-41DF-9210-D46EBECADA69"><title>Design and implementation</title> <p>The example creates two |
|
24 databases named DBforSMP1.db and DBforSMP2.db and three threads: </p> <ul> |
|
25 <li id="GUID-F4EE1C84-FE30-5C99-872B-1881D852CAEA"><p> <codeph>WriterThread1</codeph>: |
|
26 It creates the DBforSMP1.db database and writes integers to it. The thread |
|
27 has the lowest priority amongst all the threads. </p> </li> |
|
28 <li id="GUID-7B2D0419-E069-59FA-A6CE-70EBC203F656"><p> <codeph>WriterThread2</codeph>: |
|
29 It creates the DBforSMP2.db database and writes some integers to it. The thread |
|
30 has highest priority amongst all the threads. </p> </li> |
|
31 <li id="GUID-7C9584F2-E6C8-5A02-B4C2-4845CF4BAA36"><p> <codeph>ReaderThread</codeph>: |
|
32 It reads the two databases and prints the output to the console. It has normal |
|
33 priority. </p> </li> |
|
34 </ul> <p>In a unicore enviroment, the threads are executed according to their |
|
35 priorities. This means first <codeph> WriterThread2</codeph>, then <codeph>ReaderThread</codeph> and |
|
36 finally <codeph>WriterThread1</codeph> is executed. Hence <codeph>ReaderThead</codeph> can |
|
37 only print the contents of the DBforSMP2.db in the console because DBforSMP1 |
|
38 is empty. in an SMP environment, threads run simultaneously and <codeph>ReaderThread</codeph> can |
|
39 print the contents of both the databases. </p> </section> |
