Multi-threading

In Codac, some functions can be runned in parallel for faster computation. To do so, the library relies on CPU multi-threading.

Supported functions

An exhaustive list of the functions that can parallelized in Codac is :

PEIBOS
- PEIBOS for analytic functions
- PEIBOS for ODE integration

How it works

By default, Codac uses only one thread for its computations. A getter nb_threads and a setter set_nb_threads are available to get and change the number of threads.

In addition, the function max_threads provides the maximum number of threads usable on the machine.

To use a given number of threads in a function, the setter just needs to be called before running the desired function. An example is provided below

set_nb_threads(max_threads())  # using as many threads as possible
PEIBOS(...)

set_nb_threads(max_threads());  // using as many threads as possible
PEIBOS(...);

set_nb_threads(max_threads());  % using as many threads as possible
PEIBOS(...);
