我已經提供了parallel computing toolbox的試用版以進行一些測試並查看它是如何工作的。如何在客戶端舉報工作人員「事件」gui
我想要執行的測試包括瞭解如何使用此工具箱在GUI中運行某些後臺處理,並報告處理進度。
到目前爲止,我已經創建了一個簡單的圖形用戶界面,其中包含一個用於在後臺啓動/取消處理的按鈕(使用parfeval)和一個標籤來報告進程。
,一切工作正常(代碼在後臺運行,我能夠處理後臺錯誤或取消),唯一的問題是關於客戶端會話報告後臺處理進展:
function [] = TestBackgroundWorker()
%[
% Create interface
fig = figure();
cuo = onCleanup(@()delete(fig));
stState = uicontrol('Parent', fig, 'Units', 'normalized', 'Position', [0.1 0.7 0.8 0.2], 'Style', 'text', 'String', 'Ready');
btnOkCancel = uicontrol('Parent', fig, 'Units', 'normalized', 'Position', [0.1 0.1 0.8 0.5], 'Style', 'pushbutton', 'String', 'Go', 'Callback', @(s,e)onOkCancelClicked(fig));
% Backstore
data = guidata(fig);
data.bgw = [];
data.stState = stState;
data.btnOkCancel = btnOkCancel;
guidata(fig, data);
waitfor(fig);
%]
end
function [] = onBackgroundProgress(fig, ratio, msg)
%[
% Here I would like to 'BeginInvoke' in client thread
% to refresh 'ratio/msg' in the GUI.
% Below code of course doesn't work:
% 1) It is not synchronized with UI thread
% 2) It is executed in a session with no display
data = guidata(fig);
set(data.stState, 'String', sprintf('%f - %s', ratio, msg));
%]
end
function [] = onOkCancelClicked(fig)
%[
% Backstore
data = guidata(fig);
if (~isfield(data, 'bgw'))
data.bgw = [];
end
if (isempty(data.bgw))
% Start background work
set(data.btnOkCancel, 'String', 'Cancel');
data.bgw = parfeval(@doBackgroundWork, 0, @(r, m)onBackgroundProgress(fig, r, m));
guidata(fig, data);
% Wait for error/termination/cancel
while(true)
try
idx = fetchNext(data.bgw, 0.3);
catch err
if (~isempty(err.cause) && (strcmp(err.cause{1}.identifier, 'parallel:fevalqueue:ExecutionCancelled')))
% Error was due to cancelation
uiwait(msgbox('Processing canceled by user!', 'modal'));
set(data.btnOkCancel, 'String', 'Go', 'Enable', 'on');
else
% Error real error (TODO: display it in some way)
uiwait(msgbox('Processing error!', 'modal'));
set(data.btnOkCancel, 'String', 'Go', 'Enable', 'on');
end
data.bgw = [];
guidata(fig, data);
break;
end
if (isempty(idx))
% Still processing => Enable message pump to read GUI events
drawnow limitrate;
else
% Processing done
uiwait(msgbox('Processing done!', 'modal'));
data.bgw = [];
guidata(fig, data);
set(data.btnOkCancel, 'String', 'Go', 'Enable', 'on');
break;
end
end
else
% Cancel background work
set(data.btnOkCancel, 'String', 'Cancelling...', 'Enable', 'off');
cancel(data.bgw);
end
%]
end
function [] = doBackgroundWork(onProgress)
%[
count = 10;
for k = 1:count,
onProgress((k-1)/count, sprintf('Step %i/%i', k, count));
pause(1);
end
%]
end
我明白以及這個問題,即回調onBackgroundProgress
是從一個沒有顯示的會話中執行的,所以沒有任何反應(而且它沒有與客戶端GUI同步)。
有沒有一種方法來同步和傳遞數據到工作人員的GUI(在C#中我會用BeginInvoke
)?也許我沒有以適當的方式使用工具箱來實現我想要的(似乎更多地面向分佈式計算而不是多線程),還有另一種方法可以用這個工具箱來實現嗎? ...

我修改代碼以timer對象來代替drawnow(這個工程),並試圖用labSend和labReceive到UI背景會話同步(這不工作):

顯然labSend
的labReceive
可以を之間纔會發生但與客戶不在一起......似乎是一個死衚衕。
我不是PCT專家,但我不認爲這會起作用; 'parfeval'在工作人員池上異步執行該功能。在本地,它在單獨的**進程**(不是線程)上運行,並在分佈式計算機集羣上遠程運行(請考慮MPI)。它打算在後臺啓動函數並獲取結果(單向通信),而不是取代線程。我沒有看到你如何能夠從工作人員返回到主進程來發布UI更新。我知道'labSend' /'labReceive'函數,但我不確定它們是否適合您的程序結構。 – Amro
謝謝@Amro。我更新了我的代碼,嘗試使用'labSend/labReceive',但它也不起作用(請參閱我編輯過的帖子......似乎'labSend/labReceive'只能在'工作者'之間發生,但不會與客戶端發生)......絕對該工具箱更分散*面向而不是*多線程*面向,所以現在最好保持我的舊樣式[解決方法](http://stackoverflow.com/a/28378219/684399)有一個響應GUI。 – CitizenInsane
這也是我的印象; PCT提供的模型非常適合於向分佈式工作人員「提交作業」而不會阻塞(使用像'createJob','parfeval','batch'這樣的函數),最終從返回的promise/deferred對象中檢索結果。另一種方法是提供數據並行計算風格的'parfor','spmd'和'mapreduce'。最後是CUDA和GPU計算......所有考慮事項,我發現MATLAB不適用於多線程編程風格(帶或不帶PCT工具箱)。 – Amro
