Description
Plex2 is a process whose output stream is a fair multiplexing of its input streams. It makes no assumptions about the traffic patterns occuring on the input streams and ensures that no input stream will be starved by busy siblings. It guarantees that if an input stream has data pending, no other stream will be serviced twice before that data is serviced.Channel Protocols
Input Channels | ||
---|---|---|
in0, in1 | java.lang.Object | The input streams. |
Output Channels | ||
out | java.lang.Object | The multiplexed output stream. |
Example
The following example shows how to use Plex2 in a small program. The program also uses some of the other plugNplay processes.import org.jcsp.lang.*; import org.jcsp.plugNplay.*; public class Plex2Example { public static void main (String[] argv) { final One2OneChannel[] a = Channel.one2oneArray (2); final One2OneChannel[] b = Channel.one2oneArray (2); final One2OneChannel c = Channel.one2one (); new Parallel ( new CSProcess[] { new Fibonacci (a[0].out ()), new Squares (a[1].out ()), new Sign ("Fibonacci ", a[0].in (), b[0].out ()), new Sign (" Squares ", a[1].in (), b[1].out ()), new Plex2 (b[0].in (), b[1].in (), c.out ()), new Printer (c.in (), "", "\n") } ).run (); } }
Implemntation Note
For information, here is the run method for this process:public void run () { AltingChannelInput[] input = {in0, in1}; // in0 and in1 are the input channels Alternative alt = new Alternative (input); while (true) { out.write (input[alt.fairSelect ()].read ()); // out is the output channel } }
