NAME

ns_job - Implement job queues and thread pools for evaluating Tcl scripts

SYNOPSIS

ns_job option ?arg arg ...?

DESCRIPTION

ns_job manages a thread pool and a set of named "queues". Queues have a max number of threads and when the current number of running thread reaches "max" then jobs are queued. New threads are created when there are less than maxthread number of idle threads.
This command provides a means for queueing Tcl scripts for evaluation by a pool of threads. The legal options (which may be abbreviated) are:
  • ns_job create ?-desc description? queueId ?maxthreads?
Create a new job queue called queueId. If maxthreads is not specified, then the default of 4 is used.
  • ns_job queue ?-detached? queueId script
Add a new job to the queue. If there are less than maxthreads current running then the job will be started. If there are maxthreads currently running then this new job will be queued.
If -detached, then the job will be claned up when it completes; no wait will be necessary.
The new job's ID is returned.
  • ns_job wait ?-timeout seconds:microseconds? queueId jobId
Wait for the specified queued or running job to finish. ns_job wait returns the results of the script.
An error is thrown if the specified timeout period is reached.
  • ns_job waitany ?-timeout seconds:microseconds? queueId
Wait for any job on the queue complete.
An error is thrown if the specified timeout period is reached.
  • ns_job cancel queueId jobId
Remove the specified job from the queue. If the job is currently running, then the job will be removed from the queue when it completes.
1 (true) is returned if the job is currently running and can not be cancelled.
  • ns_job delete queueId
Request that the specified queue be deleted. The queue will only be deleted when all jobs are removed.
  • ns_job jobs queueId
Return a list of the job IDs.
  • ns_job queues
Returns a list of the queue IDs.
  • ns_job threadlist

maxthreads - Max number of threads for all the queues in the thread pool.
numthreads - Number of allocated threads.
numidle - Number of currently idle threads.
