Method Detail

retrieveCurrentDFPGroup

public static groovyx.gpars.group.PGroup retrieveCurrentDFPGroup()

Retrieves the thread-local value of the active PGroup or the default DataFlowGroup

Returns:

The PGroup to use for DF within the current thread

start

public static Actor start(groovy.lang.Closure code)

Creates a new instance of SingleRunActor to run the supplied code. In general cases prefer task() instead, which is more lightweight.

Parameters:

code - The actor's body

Returns:

A started instance

task

public static DataFlowVariable task(groovy.lang.Closure code)

Creates a new task assigned to a thread from the default dataflow parallel group. Tasks are a lightweight version of dataflow operators, which do not define their communication channels explicitly, but can only exchange data using explicit DataFlowVariables and Streams.

Parameters:

code - The task body to run

Returns:

A DataFlowVariable, which gets assigned the value returned from the supplied code

task

public static DataFlowVariable task(java.util.concurrent.Callable callable)

Creates a new task assigned to a thread from the current parallel group. Tasks are a lightweight version of dataflow operators, which do not define their communication channels explicitly, but can only exchange data using explicit DataFlowVariables and Streams. Registers itself with DataFlow for nested 'whenBound' handlers to use the same group.

Parameters:

callable - The task body to run

Returns:

A DataFlowVariable, which gets assigned the value returned from the supplied code

task

public static DataFlowVariable task(java.lang.Runnable runnable)

Creates a new task assigned to a thread from the current parallel group. Tasks are a lightweight version of dataflow operators, which do not define their communication channels explicitly, but can only exchange data using explicit DataFlowVariables and Streams. Registers itself with DataFlow for nested 'whenBound' handlers to use the same group.

Parameters:

runnable - The task body to run

Returns:

A DataFlowVariable, which gets bound to null once the supplied code finishes
