Our primary goal with the new site was to place key resources prominently to allow developers to quickly and easily find what they need. The new website allows us to gather all these currently disparate internal and community resources in a single, easily navigable place. The old website performed that role admirably, but Vulkan has come a long way and we now have a large and increasing amount of tools, libraries, educational material, and news to showcase that a single page website cannot handle. The original Vulkan website was designed for the launch of a cutting edge new API that would, initially, have limited official materials and community content. Don’t worry, Vulkan is still maintained and owned by The Khronos Group we just felt that it had outgrown its old website now that it has been five years since the Vulkan 1.0 launch. It has been a while in the making but we are very excited to launch the new Vulkan website to the community. The design pattern will be the same as the Semaphores C++11 example, it will just be slightly harder to read.The Vulkan website has a new home and look! If you are interested in using a POSIX library (or are not able to use Semaphores C++11) I am not going to supply an example, but I recommend checking out the open group or here. The code above, using semaphores c++11 is much nicer and easier than using the POSIX library, but it is about as easy (just far less readable) to use POSIX. This enabled the threads to be printed in order with the use of semaphores C++11! We only allowed the thread who’s number matched the variable “current” to run. It is fairly clear there could have been a race condition, however with the use of the following lines: while(num != current || !ready) Running 15 in parallel using Semaphores C++11: Below is an example (also viewable on my github) using semaphores c++11: However, if you are using a Semaphore I recommend using the standard libraries since they are fairly easy to read. POSIX, which stands for: “ P ortable O perating S ystem I nterface,” has a semaphore C library for ease of use. A mutex is more or less a binary semaphore which is used to lock/unlock a critical section of code, meaning only one thread can access it at a given time (without causing issues). If for example, we would like to use a semaphore to print the thread number, we would do something like below (represented visually):Ī special case of the semaphore is a mutex. More straight forward a semaphore is simply a counter, used to keep track of how many of a particular resource you have available. However, I have heard the term used in several instances when referring to memory, I do not know if this is the correct usage or not. This usually (almost always) applies to how many threads are currently available to the operating system. More or less semaphores C++11 are used for is keeping track of how many resources are currently available for use at a given time. In computer science, particularly in operating systems, a semaphore is a variable or abstract data type that is used for controlling access, by multiple processes, to a common resource in a parallel programming or a multi user environment. A semaphore is simple enough (from wikipedia):
