Detailed Description

Dispatching strategy that minimizes priority inversion.

This strategy uses multiple queues, each serviced by a thread at different priority. This minimizes priority inversion because the consumers at higher priority are serviced before consumers at lower priority. It is more flexible than using the supplier thread to dispatch because it allows high-priority suppliers to push events to low-priority consumers (and vice-versa). It also isolates the supplier threads from the time spent on upcalls to the consumer objects, making the system easier to analyze and schedule.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

TAO_EC_Kokyu_Dispatching::TAO_EC_Kokyu_Dispatching	(	TAO_EC_Event_Channel_Base *	ec,
		int	sched_policy,
		int	sched_scope
	)

The scheduler is used to find the range of priorities and similar info.

Member Function Documentation

void TAO_EC_Kokyu_Dispatching::activate ( void ) [virtual]

Initialize all the data structures, activate any internal threads, etc.

Implements TAO_EC_Dispatching.

void TAO_EC_Kokyu_Dispatching::push	(	TAO_EC_ProxyPushSupplier *	proxy,
		RtecEventComm::PushConsumer_ptr	consumer,
		const RtecEventComm::EventSet &	event,
		TAO_EC_QOS_Info &	qos_info
	)		`[virtual]`

The consumer represented by proxy should receive event. It can use the information in qos_info to determine the event priority (among other things).

Implements TAO_EC_Dispatching.

void TAO_EC_Kokyu_Dispatching::push_nocopy	(	TAO_EC_ProxyPushSupplier *	proxy,
		RtecEventComm::PushConsumer_ptr	consumer,
		RtecEventComm::EventSet &	event,
		TAO_EC_QOS_Info &	qos_info
	)		`[virtual]`
