It creates two parts of a pipeline on a two different // processors and connects them with ports. The two processes can then // process the data in a pipeline mode, i.e: // 1. Consumer asks the producer to start producing data, // 2. Consumer receives data and starts processing it, // 3. Producer starts producing new data, // 4. Goto 2 unless done. // The pipeline used in this example is as follows: // rtSource -> OutputPort --- InputPort -> contour -> Render // process 0 process 1 // See pipe1.cxx and pipe2.cxx for the pipelines. #include "PipelineParallelism.h" int main( int argc, char* argv[] ) { // Note that this will create a vtkMPIController if MPI // is configured, vtkThreadedController otherwise. vtkMultiProcessController* controller = vtkMultiProcessController::New(); controller->Initialize(&argc, &argv); // When using MPI, the number of processes is determined // by the external program which launches this application. // However, when using threads, we need to set it ourselves. if (controller->IsA("vtkThreadedController")) { // Set the number of processes to 2 for this example. controller->SetNumberOfProcesses(2); } int numProcs = controller->GetNumberOfProcesses(); if (numProcs != 2) { cerr << "This example requires two processes." << endl; controller->Finalize(); controller->Delete(); return 1; } // Assign the functions and execute them controller->SetMultipleMethod(0, pipe1, 0); controller->SetMultipleMethod(1, pipe2, 0); controller->MultipleMethodExecute(); // Clean-up and exit controller->Finalize(); controller->Delete(); return 0; }
