""" module pyabc_split Executes python functions and their arguements as separate processes and returns their return values through pickling. This modules offers a single function: Function: split_all(funcs) The function returns a generator objects that allowes iteration over the results, Arguments: funcs: a list of tuples (f, args) where f is a python function and args is a collection of arguments for f. Caveats: 1. Global variables in the parent process are not affected by the child processes. 2. The functions can only return simple types, see the pickle module for details Usage: Assume you would like to run the function f_1(1), f_2(1,2), f_3(1,2,3) in different processes. def f_1(i): return i+1 def f_2(i,j): return i*10+j+1 def f_3(i,j,k): return i*100+j*10+k+1 Construct a tuple of the function and arguments for each function t_1 = (f_1, [1]) t_2 = (f_2, [1,2]) t_3 = (f_3, [1,2,3]) Create a list containing these tuples: funcs = [t_1, t_2, t_3] Use the function split_all() to run these functions in separate processes: for res in split_all(funcs): print res The output will be: 2 13 124 (The order may be different, except that in this case the processes are so fast that they terminate before the next one is created) Alternatively, you may quite in the middle, say after the first process returns: for res in split_all(funcs): print res break This will kill all processes not yet finished. To run ABC operations, that required saving the child process state and restoring it at the parent, use abc_split_all(). import pyabc def abc_f(truth): import os print "pid=%d, abc_f(%s)"%(os.getpid(), truth) pyabc.run_command('read_truth %s'%truth) pyabc.run_command('strash') funcs = [ defer(abc_f)("1000"), defer(abc_f)("0001") ] for _ in abc_split_all(funcs): pyabc.run_command('write_verilog /dev/stdout') Author: Baruch Sterin """ import os import select import fcntl import errno import sys import cPickle as pickle import signal import cStringIO import traceback from contextlib import contextmanager import pyabc def _retry_select(rlist): while True: try: rrdy,_,_ = select.select(rlist,[],[]) if rrdy: return rrdy except select.error as e: if e[0] == errno.EINTR: continue raise class _splitter(object): def __init__(self): self.pids = [] self.fds = {} self.buffers = {} self.results = {} def is_done(self): return len(self.fds) == 0 def _kill(self, pids): #
