Waiting for Single Messages in Flow Graph

.. contents:: :local: :depth: 1

Description


This feature adds a new try_put_and_wait interface to the receiving nodes in the Flow Graph. This function puts a message as an input into a Flow Graph and waits until all work related to that message is complete. try_put_and_wait may reduce latency compared to calling graph::wait_for_all since graph::wait_for_all waits for all work, including work that is unrelated to the input message, to complete.

node.try_put_and_wait(msg) performs node.try_put(msg) on the node and waits until the work on msg is completed. Therefore, the following conditions are true:

  • Any task initiated by any node in the Flow Graph that involves working with msg or any other intermediate result computed from msg is completed.
  • No intermediate results computed from msg remain in any buffers in the graph.

.. caution::

To prevent ``try_put_and_wait`` calls from infinite waiting, avoid using buffering nodes at the end of the Flow Graph since the final result
will not be automatically consumed by the Flow Graph.

.. caution::

The ``multifunction_node`` and ``async_node`` classes are not currently supported by this feature. Including one of these nodes in the
Flow Graph may cause ``try_put_and_wait`` to exit early, even if the computations on the initial input message are
still in progress.

Member Functions

.. code:: cpp

template <typename Output, typename Policy>
bool continue_node<Output, Policy>::try_put_and_wait(const continue_msg& input)

Effects: Increments the count of input signals received. If the incremented count is equal to the number of known predecessors, performs the body function object execution.

Waits for the completion of the input in the Flow Graph, meaning all tasks created by each node and related to input are executed, and no related objects remain in any buffer within the graph.

Returns: true.

.. code:: cpp

template <typename Input, typename Output, typename Policy>
bool function_node<Input, Output, Policy>::try_put_and_wait(const Input& input)

Effects: If the concurrency limit allows, executes the user-provided body on the incoming message input. Otherwise, depending on the Policy of the node, either queues the incoming message input or rejects it.

Waits for the completion of the input in the Flow Graph, meaning all tasks created by each node and related to input are executed, and no related objects remain in any buffer within the graph.

Returns: true if the input is accepted, false otherwise.

.. code:: cpp

template <typename T>
bool overwrite_node<T>::try_put_and_wait(const T& input)

Effects: Stores input in the internal single-item buffer and broadcasts it to all successors.

Waits for the completion of the input in the Flow Graph, meaning all tasks created by each node and related to input are executed, and no related objects remain in any buffer within the graph.

Returns: true.

.. caution::

Since the input element is not retrieved from ``overwrite_node`` once accepted by the successor,
retrieve it by explicitly calling the ``clear()`` method or by overwriting with another element to prevent
``try_put_and_wait`` from indefinite waiting.

.. code:: cpp

template <typename T>
bool write_once_node<T>::try_put_and_wait(const T& input)

Effects: Stores input in the internal single-item buffer if it does not contain a valid value already. If a new value is set, the node broadcasts it to all successors.

Waits for the completion of the input in the Flow Graph, meaning all tasks created by each node and related to input are executed, and no related objects remain in any buffer within the graph.

Returns: true for the first time after construction or a call to clear().

.. caution::

Since the input element is not retrieved from the ``write_once_node`` once accepted by the successor,
retrieve it by explicitly calling the ``clear()`` method to prevent ``try_put_and_wait`` from indefinite waiting.

.. code:: cpp

template <typename T>
bool buffer_node<T>::try_put_and_wait(const T& input)

Effects: Adds input to the set of items managed by the node and tries forwarding it to a successor.

Waits for the completion of the input in the Flow Graph, meaning all tasks created by each node and related to input are executed, and no related objects remain in any buffer within the graph.

Returns: true.

.. code:: cpp

template <typename T>
bool queue_node<T>::try_put_and_wait(const T& input)

Effects: Adds input to the set of items managed by the node and tries forwarding the least recently added item to a successor.

Waits for the completion of the input in the Flow Graph, meaning all tasks created by each node and related to input are executed, and no related objects remain in any buffer within the graph.

Returns: true.

.. code:: cpp

template <typename T, typename Compare>
bool priority_queue_node<T>::try_put_and_wait(const T& input)

Effects: Adds input to the priority_queue_node and attempts to forward the item with the highest priority among all items added to the node but not yet forwarded to the successors.

Waits for the completion of the input in the Flow Graph, meaning all tasks created by each node and related to input are executed, and no related objects remain in any buffer within the graph.

Returns: true.

.. code:: cpp

template <typename T>
bool sequencer_node<T>::try_put_and_wait(const T& input)

Effects: Adds input to the sequencer_node and tries forwarding the next item in sequence to a successor.

Waits for the completion of the input in the Flow Graph, meaning all tasks created by each node and related to input are executed, and no related objects remain in any buffer within the graph.

Returns: true.

.. code:: cpp

template <typename T, typename DecrementType>
bool limiter_node<T, DecrementType>::try_put_and_wait(const T& input)

Effects: If the broadcast count is below the threshold, broadcasts input to all successors.

Waits for the completion of the input in the Flow Graph, meaning all tasks created by each node and related to input are executed, and no related objects remain in any buffer within the graph.

Returns: true if input is broadcasted; false otherwise.

.. code:: cpp

template <typename T>
bool broadcast_node<T>::try_put_and_wait(const T& input)

Effects: Broadcasts input to all successors.

Waits for the completion of the input in the Flow Graph, meaning all tasks created by each node and related to input are executed, and no related objects remain in any buffer within the graph.

Returns: true even if the node cannot successfully forward the message to any of its successors.

.. code:: cpp

template <typename TupleType>
bool split_node<TupleType>::try_put_and_wait(const TupleType& input);

Effects: Broadcasts each element in the incoming tuple to the nodes connected to the split_node output ports. The element at index i of input is broadcasted through the output port number i.

Waits for the completion of the input in the Flow Graph, meaning all tasks created by each node and related to input are executed, and no related objects remain in any buffer within the graph.

Returns: true.

Example


.. literalinclude:: ./examples/try_put_and_wait_example.cpp :language: c++ :start-after: /begin_try_put_and_wait_example/ :end-before: /end_try_put_and_wait_example/

Each iteration of parallel_for submits an input into the Flow Graph. After returning from try_put_and_wait(input), it is guaranteed that all of the work related to the completion of input is done by all of the nodes in the graph. Tasks related to inputs submitted by other calls are not guaranteed to be completed.
