mutex for Shared Exchange Array

[brandsblair2020]

hello, what kind of share memory consistency guaranteed by the Shared Exchange Array? Can you give some example using mutex lock etc? thanks.

Hi @brandsblair2020,

I adopted the Shared Exchange Array from InterProcessCommunication.jl. It is more a re-definition in order to put code together. All IPC actions should be gained with tools from that package 😊.

I tried the InterProcessCommunication.jl, and got some issue, which I raised to the author, but he hasn't replied yet. From what I have read from the source code, the code was using Unix's pthread, which will have issues with other platform. I am thinking about implementing a version to resolve these issues. Are you interested to join?

@brandsblair2020 sorry for the late reply. Was quite busy the last days. During porting and adapting, I just focused on Linux and thus, the InterProcessCommunication.jl support was totally fine for and I left other OS on the side.
I am seeing the benefit in order to port it. Unfortunately, my time budget is almost exhausted and hence, it would be hard to contribute in a co-operational manner :(.
