Threading Problem

Mvk
Hello;

I have a strange threading problem.

Suppose I have the following subs in it:

1) Refresh()

2)

Sub OnEventReceive handles TriggerObject.T riggerEvent
'When I call the Refresh() here it will take 40 seconds!!!!
Refresh()
End Sub

3) A KeyPress eventhandler:

KeyPressEvent(. ..) Handles KeyPress
'When I call the Refresh() here it will take 5 seconds
Refresh()
End Sub

When I call the Refresh() sub directly in the application (eg when the F5
button is pressed) the sub takes about 5 seconds to complete.

The OnEventReceive sub is triggered by a raiseevent in the TriggerObject.
The refresh-sub is called in this handler. The strange thing is that the
refresh() now takes more than 40 seoncds (!!!) to complete.

I thought this was a typical threading problem. So I have changed the
OnEventReceive to the following:

Sub OnEventReceive handles TriggerObject.T riggerEvent
Dim t As Thread = New Thread(AddressO f Refresh)
t.Start()
End Sub

I was hoping the Refresh() would complete in 5 seconds but it still takes 40
seconds!!!

Can anyone help me with this problem ?

Regards!

I have been reading a book about the evolution of the Basic programming language. The author states that Basic - particularly Microsoft's version is full of compromises which crept in along the language's 30+ year evolution. What to you think python largest compromises are? The three that come to my mind are significant whitespace, dynamic typing, and that it is interpreted - not compiled. These three put python under fire and cause...

As far as I know python's threading module models after Java's. However, I can't find something equivalent to Java's interrupt and isInterrupted methods, along with InterruptedException. "somethread.interrupt()" will wake somethread up when it's in sleeping/waiting state. Is there any way of doing this with python's thread? I suppose thread interrupt is a very primitive functionality for stopping a blocked thread.

Please excuse the cross-post - I'm pretty sure I've had interest in the article on all the groups this is posted to. I've finally managed to finish my article on multi-threading - at least for the moment. I'd be *very* grateful if people with any interest in multi-threading would read it (even just bits of it - it's somewhat long to go through the whole thing!) to check for accuracy, effectiveness of examples, etc. Feel free to mail...

I am stumped by the following problem. I have a large multi-threaded server accepting communications on one UDP port (chosen for its supposed speed). I have been profiling the code and found that the UDP communication is my biggest drain on performance! Communication where the client and the server are on the same machine still takes 300ms or sometimes much more per packet on an Athlon64 3000+ running Linux (Fedora Core 5 x64). I must...

Below are 2 files that isolate the problem. Note, both programs hang (stop responding) with hyper-threading turned on (a BIOS setting), but work as expected with hyper-threading turned off. Note, the Windows task manager shows 2 CPUs on the Performance tab with hyper-threading is turned on. Both Python 2.3.5 and 2.4.3 (downloaded from python.org) have this problem. The operating system is MS Windows XP Professional.

Hi, I've recently been working on an application which does quite a bit of searching through large data structures and string matching, and I was thinking that it would help to put some of this CPU-intensive work in another thread, but of course this won't work because of Python's GIL. There's a lot of past discussion on this, and I want to bring it up again because with the work on Python 3000, I think it is worth trying

For an application I'm creating I want to create a 'fake' progress bar. By fake I mean a progress bar that looks like it's doing something but actually isn't. I know philosophically this isn't sound. But my little app is a 'fake' app and is designed to look like another - hence this seeming crazy situation of needing to fake a progess bar. PROBLEM.

Rather than create a new way of doing things: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n2497.html why not just pick up ACE into the existing standard: http://www.cse.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html the same way that the STL (and subsequently BOOST) have been subsumed? Since it already runs on zillions of platforms, they have obviously worked most of the kinks out of the generalized threading and processes idea (along with many...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
