.NET - 阻塞主线程,直到有任何可用的线程

我有一个进程,我的主线程正在读取文件并将其拆分为多个部分。那些部件需要进一步处理。我想利用任何可用的线程,以便下游处理尽可能多地使用CPU(或尽可能多的内核)。我不想从主线程创建过多的积压,所以我需要主线程等待添加到队列,直到有另一个可用的线程。

我看到许多文章如VB.NET 4.0: Looking to execute multiple threads, but wait until all threads are completed before resuming,但他们正在等待所有线程完成,而我只需要任何线程可用

这是我可以用Task Parallel Library解决的问题,还是应该手动创建线程并监控线程池?

Using Reader As New StreamReader(FileName)
    Do
        CurrentBlockSize = Reader.ReadBlock(CurrentBuffer, 0, BufferSize)

        RunningBuffer &= New String(CurrentBuffer)

        If RunningBuffer.Contains(RowDelimiter) Then
            LineParts = RunningBuffer.Split(RowDelimiter)

            For I As Integer = 0 To LineParts.Count - 1
                If I < LineParts.Count - 1 Then

                    'Make synchronous call that blocks until' 
                    'another thread is available to process the line'
                    AddLineToTheProcessingQueue(CurrentLine)

                Else
                    RunningBuffer = LineParts(I)
                End If
            Next
        End If

    Loop While CurrentBlockSize = BufferSize
End Using

将此代码粘贴到新的控制台应用程序中。

Imports System.Threading

Module Module1

    ' I just picked 6 randomly, not sure what is a good strategy for picking this number
    ' also, not sure what is the difference between a Worker Thread and a Completion thread
    Const MaxWorkerThreads As Integer = 6
    Const MaxCompletionPortThreads As Integer = 6

    Sub Main()

        ThreadPool.SetMaxThreads(MaxWorkerThreads, MaxCompletionPortThreads)

        Dim availableWorkerThreads As Integer
        Dim availableCompletionPortThreads As Integer

        For i As Integer = 0 To 100

            ' GetAvailableThreads returns results via output parameters
            ThreadPool.GetAvailableThreads(availableWorkerThreads, availableCompletionPortThreads)

            Dim tries As Integer = 0

            Do While (availableWorkerThreads = 0)
                ' this loop does not execute if there are available threads
                ' you may want to add a fail-safe to check "tries" in case the child threads get stuck
                tries += 1

                Console.WriteLine(String.Format("waiting to start item {0}, attempt {1}, available threads: {2}, {3}", i, tries, availableWorkerThreads, availableCompletionPortThreads))

                ' failure to call Sleep will make your program unresponsive
                Thread.Sleep(1000)

                ' call GetAvailableThreads again for the next test at the top of the loop
                ThreadPool.GetAvailableThreads(availableWorkerThreads, availableCompletionPortThreads)
            Loop

            ' this is how you pass parameters to a thread created through QueueUserWorkItem
            Dim parameters As Object() = {i}
            ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(AddressOf DoWork, parameters)
            ' According to MSDN, you must Sleep after calling QueueUserWorkItem, or else the current thread will just exit
            Thread.Sleep(500)

        Next

    End Sub

    Sub DoWork(parameters As Object())
        Dim itemNumber = parameters(0)
        Dim sleepLength = itemNumber * 1000
        Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Item: {0} - sleeping for {1} miliseconds.", itemNumber, sleepLength))
        Thread.Sleep(sleepLength)
        Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Item: {0} - done sleeping.", itemNumber))
    End Sub

End Module

我不确定您为什么要这样做,但是您可以使用BlockingCollection或设置了BoundedCapacity的数据流块来实现非常相似的功能。

例如,如果您将容量设置为1并且您的消费者此时正忙,则在其中一个消费者完成其当前工作并从中删除该项之前,您将无法将第二个项添加到队列中队列。两个版本都为您提供了一种等待,直到您可以将另一个项目添加到队列中。
