/***************************************************************************** * FILE: mpithreads_threads.c * DESCRIPTION: * This simple program illustrates the use of Pthreads in a program obtained * by modifying a serial code that performs a dot product. It is the second * of four codes used to show the progression from a serial program to a * hybrid MPI/Pthreads program. The other relevant codes are: * - mpithreads_serial.c - The serial version * - mpithreads_mpi.c - A distributed memory programming model with MPI * - mpithreads_both.c - A hybrid model that utilizes both MPI and * Pthreads to execute on systems that are comprised of clusters * of SMP's. * * The main data is made available to all threads through a globally * accessible structure. Each thread works on a different part of the * data. The main thread waits for all the threads to complete their * computations, and then it prints the resulting sum. * * SOURCE: Vijay Sonnad, IBM * LAST REVISED: 10/8/99 Blaise Barney ******************************************************************************/ #include #include #include /* The following structure contains the necessary information to allow the function "dotprod" to access its input data and place its output into the structure.
