Re: About Parallel Disk IO

Show all headers | View raw

Hello,

If the chunks of data are not equal insize, the processing threads mcan 
update the counter of the total processed chunks of data and also they 
can update counter the total size of the data that has been processed 
and this way the independant thread that adjust the number of threads 
will do its calculation of the throughput with a mean size of the chunk
of data. That's the way to do it i think.


Thank you for your time.
