Hi All, I would like to ask for some advice.I have a problem in which I have
several lists containing some data. These lists are created by one"process" and
this part should be sequential. Then these lists should be checked against
somelarge "database", list or hash table, and as a result some new lists must
be built, which at the end mustbe merged. I would like to do this later
processing concurrently on several cores.I am a little unsure which method to
use: futures, places, threads, processes???(I am kind of familiar with parallel
programming in C and MPI, but not this fine grained level.) I am not sure a
couple of things here:- how to "distribute" the several lists to the
"processes" ? (I do not want to use files for this) Is it possible?- how to
merge the resulting lists at the end? Is it possible?- how to share, if it is
possible at all, the common "database", list or hash table? If this is not
reallypossible, it is not a problem I can "load" it in on each "process". (!
At least I hope.) Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Peter Ivanyi
