编辑:这里的代码仍有一些错误,它可以在性能部门做得更好,但不是试图解决这个问题,为了记录,我把问题解决了英特尔的讨论小组得到了很多很好的反馈,如果一切顺利的话,英特尔线程构建模块的近期版本中将包含一个优质的原子浮点数
好的,这是一个艰难的,我想要一个原子浮点,不是为了超快的图形性能,而是常规地用作类的数据成员。而且我不想为在这些类上使用锁定付出代价,因为它不能为我的需求提供额外的好处。
现在有了intel的tbb和我见过的其他原子库,支持整数类型,但不支持浮点数。所以我继续实施了一个,它可以工作......但是我不确定它是否真的有用,或者我很幸运,它的工作原理。
这里的任何人都知道这不是某种形式的异端邪说吗?

编辑:将size_t更改为uint32_t,正如格雷格罗杰斯建议的那样,它更便于携带
修改:添加了整个内容的列表,并修复了一些内容。
更多编辑:使用锁定的浮点数为5.000.000 +的性能明智+ =我的机器上有100个线程的操作需要3.6秒,而我的原子浮点数即使其愚蠢的操作需要0.2秒做同样的工作。因此,如果正确的话,> 30倍的性能提升意味着它的价值,(这就是问题)。
更多编辑:由于Awgn指出我的fetch_and_xxxx
部分都错了。修复了我不确定的API和移除的部分(模板化内存模型)。并根据operator + =实现其他操作以避免代码重复
已添加:添加了运算符* =和运算符/ =,因为没有它们,浮点数不会浮动。感谢Peterchen的评论,注意到这一点

我会认真反对公共继承。我不知道原子实现是什么样的,但我假设它已经重载了使用它作为整数类型的运算符,这意味着在许多(可能是大多数?)情况下,这些促销将被用来代替你的浮点数。
我认为没有任何理由不起作用,但是像我一样,我必须证明这一点...
一个注意事项:你的operator float()
例程没有load-acquire语义,不应该将它标记为const volatile(或者至少是const)?
编辑:如果您打算提供运营商 - (),您应提供前缀/后缀形式。
答案 1 :(得分:3)
看起来您的实现假定为sizeof(size_t) == sizeof(float)
。这对您的目标平台总是如此吗?
我不会说线程异端,就像施放异端邪说一样。 :)

这是在知识产权委员会谈判后现在的代码状态,但仍未经过彻底验证,无法在所有情况下正常工作。

答案 3 :(得分:1)
虽然 uint32_t 的大小可能与给定arch上的 float 的大小相等,但是通过将一个转换从一个转换为另一个,你隐式假设原子增量,减量和所有其他位操作在两种类型上在语义上是等价的,这是实际上不存在的。我怀疑它是否按预期工作。
答案 4 :(得分:1)
我强烈怀疑你在fetch_and_add等中得到了正确的值,因为float add与int addition不同。
以下是我从这些算术中得到的结果:
1 + 1 = 1.70141e+038
100 + 1 = -1.46937e-037
100 + 0.01 = 1.56743e+038
23 + 42 = -1.31655e-036
所以是的,线程安全但不是你期望的。
无锁算法(运算符+等)应该与原子性有关(没有检查算法本身..)
其他解决方案: 因为它是所有的加法和减法,你可能能够为每个线程提供自己的实例,然后从多个线程中添加结果。
答案 5 :(得分:1)
关于这个的一点说明(我想发表评论,但显然不允许新用户发表评论):在引用上使用reinterpret_cast会产生gcc 4.1 -O3的错误代码。这似乎在4.4中得到修复,因为它有效。将reinterpret_casts更改为指针虽然稍微丑陋,但在两种情况下都适用。
答案 6 :(得分:0)
从我对该代码的阅读中,我会非常生气地对这样的编译器感到生气,因为它为这个非原子的组件进行了组装。
答案 7 :(得分:0)
让您的编译器生成汇编代码并查看它。如果操作不只是一个汇编语言指令,那么不是一个原子操作,并且需要锁才能在多处理器系统中正常运行。
不幸的是,我不确定反之亦然 - 单指令操作 保证是原子的。我不知道多级处理器编程的细节到那个级别。我可以为任何一个结果提出理由。 (如果其他人有关于此的确切信息,请随时加入。)
