我需要使用c ++中的intel线程构建块来实现并行mergesort的最佳代码

首先,让我说根据我的经验,tbb :: parallel_sort()非常有效,并且比我即将发布的代码快一点(至少对于数千个元素的数量级的输入而言)我已经测试了)。

话虽如此,我认为以下代码正是您所寻找的。变量应该是自我解释的,代码中的文档应该解释其余部分 -

并行化需要这样做:

#include<tbb/parallel_invoke.h>

如果您选择使用可能更快运行的Concurrency :: parallel_invoke(),那么请包含以下内容:

#include<ppl.h>

我推荐这些设置 -

#define MIN_ELEMENTS_FOR_RECURSION            (50)
#define MIN_ELEMENTS_FOR_PARALLEL_PROCESSING  (100)

以下是调用的主要功能。参数是随机访问类的开始和结束的迭代器(例如,vector,deque等)和比较函数 -

template <typename T_it, typename T_it_dereferenced>
void parallelMergeSort( T_it first, T_it last,  bool (*firstLessThanSecond)(const T_it_dereferenced& a, const T_it_dereferenced& b) )
{
    // create copy of container for extra space
    std::vector<T_it_dereferenced> copy(first, last);

    parallelMergeSortRecursive( first, last, copy.begin(), copy.end(), firstLessThanSecond );
}

这是从parallelMergeSort()递归调用的,以便对每一半进行排序 -

template <typename T_it, typename T_it_dereferenced>
void parallelMergeSortRecursive( T_it source_first, T_it source_last, T_it copy_first, T_it copy_last,
bool (*firstLessThanSecond)(const T_it_dereferenced& a, const T_it_dereferenced& b), int recursion_depth = 0 )
{
    // divide the array in two, and sort the two halves

    long num_elements = source_last - source_first;

    if ( num_elements > MIN_ELEMENTS_FOR_RECURSION )
    {
        T_it source_middle = source_first + num_elements / 2;
        T_it copy_middle = copy_first + num_elements / 2;

        if ( num_elements > MIN_ELEMENTS_FOR_PARALLEL_PROCESSING )
        {
            // Concurrency::parallel_invoke() may work faster
            tbb::parallel_invoke(
                [=] { parallelMergeSortRecursive( source_first,     source_middle,  copy_first,  copy_middle,   firstLessThanSecond, recursion_depth + 1 ); },
                [=] { parallelMergeSortRecursive( source_middle,    source_last,    copy_middle, copy_last,     firstLessThanSecond, recursion_depth + 1 ); }
            );
        }
        else // sort serially rather than in parallel
        {
            parallelMergeSortRecursive( source_first,   source_middle,  copy_first,  copy_middle,   firstLessThanSecond, recursion_depth + 1 );
            parallelMergeSortRecursive( source_middle,  source_last,    copy_middle, copy_last,     firstLessThanSecond, recursion_depth + 1 );
        }

        // merge the two sorted halves

        // we switch source <--> target with each level of recursion.
        // at even recursion depths (including zero which is the root level) we assume the source is sorted and merge into the target

        if ( recursion_depth % 2 == 0 ) 
        {
            merge( source_first, copy_first, copy_middle, copy_last, firstLessThanSecond );
        }
        else
        {
            merge( copy_first, source_first, source_middle, source_last, firstLessThanSecond );
        }
    }
    else // very few elements remain to be sorted, stop the recursion and sort in place
    {
        if ( recursion_depth % 2 == 0 )
        {
            std::stable_sort(source_first, source_last, firstLessThanSecond);
        }
        else
        {
            std::stable_sort(copy_first, copy_last, firstLessThanSecond);
        }
    }
}

这是从递归函数中调用的,以便合并两半 -

template <typename T_it, typename T_it_dereferenced>
void merge( T_it target_first, T_it source_first, T_it source_middle, T_it source_last,
bool (*firstLessThanSecond)(const T_it_dereferenced& a, const T_it_dereferenced& b) )
{
    // source is assumed to contain two sorted sequences (from first to middle and from middle to last)

    T_it source_it1 = source_first;
    T_it source_it2 = source_middle;
    T_it target_it = target_first;

    for ( /* intentional */ ; source_it1 < source_middle && source_it2 < source_last ; ++target_it )
    {
        //if ( source_container[i] < source_container[j] )
        if (  firstLessThanSecond(*source_it1, *source_it2)  )
        {
            *target_it = *source_it1;
            ++source_it1;
        }
        else
        {
            *target_it = *source_it2;
            ++source_it2;
        }
    }

    // insert remaining elements in non-completely-traversed-half into original container
    // only one of these two whiles will execute since one of the conditions caused the previous while to stop

    for ( /* intentional */ ; source_it1 < source_middle ; ++target_it )
    {
        *target_it = *source_it1;
        ++source_it1;
    }

    for ( /* intentional */ ; source_it2 < source_last ; ++target_it )
    {
        *target_it = *source_it2;
        ++source_it2;
    }
}

TBB已经包含了一种排序方法(并行快速排序),它实现得非常差(运行时至少是线性的,与处理器数量无关)。

我的建议是从现有实现端口并行合并排序。 例如,使用OpenMP的gnu并行模式排序(包含在任何带有源文件的最近的gcc中)。 只需用一些tbb并行代码替换所有#pragma omp
