Week 12

Linda and Tuple Space

  • Lecture Notes: PDF
  • Assignment 6
    • Due Thu, April 23
    • Versions 2 and 3 from slides 11, 12 of PDF
      • (version 1 included in sample code)
      • versions from slides 11 and 12 are the versions to implement
    • Extra challenge:
      • version 3 from slide 23
      • run with multiple producers / consumers from the command line
      • Tech notes:
        • to pass a command line parameter into your ruby program (i.e., so each producer/consumer knows its id), use the ARGV array like this: 
           id = ARGV[0]
        • then use a for loop from the bash prompt to run multiple producers/consumers: 
          $ for i in {1..3}
> do ruby producer.rb $i &
> done
        • and similarly to launch a different number of consumers
      • Demo: Marc will attempt a live demo running multiple producers and consumers from his version 3 – hope this works! LOL
