public class RendezvousDirector
extends CompositeProcessDirector

This director executes actors in their own threads and provides a receiver that implements rendezvous communication. The threads are created in the initialize() method and started in the prefire() method. After the thread for an actor is started it is active until the thread finishes. While the thread is active, it can also be blocked. A thread is blocked if it is trying to communicate but the thread with which it is trying to communicate is not ready to do so yet. A deadlock occurs when all threads are blocked. If this director is used at the top level, the model stops executing when a deadlock occurs. This director is based on the CSPDirector by Neil Smyth, Mudit Goel, and John S. Davis II.

Field Detail

_inWrapup

protected boolean _inWrapup

Set to true when the director enters the wrapup() method. The purpose is to avoid the deadlock that happens when an actor is delayed after the director calls super.wrapup() in which it waits for all actors to stop.

Constructor Detail

RendezvousDirector

public RendezvousDirector()
                   throws IllegalActionException,
                          NameDuplicationException

Construct a director in the default workspace with an empty string as its name. The director is added to the list of objects in the workspace. Increment the version number of the workspace.

Throws:

NameDuplicationException - If construction of Time objects fails.

IllegalActionException - If construction of Time objects fails.

RendezvousDirector

public RendezvousDirector(Workspace workspace)
                   throws IllegalActionException,
                          NameDuplicationException

Construct a director in the workspace with an empty name. The director is added to the list of objects in the workspace. Increment the version number of the workspace.

Parameters:

workspace - The workspace of this object.

Throws:

NameDuplicationException - If construction of Time objects fails.

IllegalActionException - If construction of Time objects fails.

RendezvousDirector

public RendezvousDirector(CompositeEntity container,
                          java.lang.String name)
                   throws IllegalActionException,
                          NameDuplicationException

Construct a director in the given container with the given name. The container argument must not be null, or a NullPointerException will be thrown. If the name argument is null, then the name is set to the empty string. Increment the version number of the workspace.

Parameters:

container - Container of the director.

name - Name of this director.

Throws:

Method Detail

clone

public java.lang.Object clone(Workspace workspace)
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

Overrides:

clone in class CompositeProcessDirector

Parameters:

workspace - The workspace for the new director.

Returns:

A new director.

Throws:

java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - If a derived class contains an attribute that cannot be cloned.

Overrides:

newReceiver in class CompositeProcessDirector

Returns:

A new instance of RendezvousReceiver.

postfire

public boolean postfire()
                 throws IllegalActionException

Return false if the model should not continue to execute.

Specified by:

postfire in interface Executable

Overrides:

postfire in class ProcessDirector

Returns:

False if no more execution is possible, and true otherwise.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If thrown by the parent class.

suggestedModalModelDirectors

public java.lang.String[] suggestedModalModelDirectors()

Return an array of suggested directors to be used with ModalModel. This is the FSMDirector followed by the NonStrictFSMDirector.

Overrides:

suggestedModalModelDirectors in class Director

Returns:

An array of suggested directors to be used with ModalModel.

See Also:

Director.suggestedModalModelDirectors()

wrapup

public void wrapup()
            throws IllegalActionException

Override the base class to set a flag indicating we are in the wrapup phase.

Specified by:

wrapup in interface Initializable

Overrides:

wrapup in class CompositeProcessDirector

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the parent class throws it.

_areAllThreadsStopped

protected boolean _areAllThreadsStopped()

Return true if the count of active threads equals the number of stopped (paused) or blocked threads. Otherwise return false.

Overrides:

_areAllThreadsStopped in class ProcessDirector

Returns:

True if all threads are stopped or blocked.

_areThreadsDeadlocked

protected boolean _areThreadsDeadlocked()

Return true if all active threads are blocked.

Overrides:

_areThreadsDeadlocked in class CompositeProcessDirector

Returns:

True if all active threads are blocked.

_getResultMap

protected java.util.Map _getResultMap(java.lang.Thread thread)

Return the map of results for the given thread. This result is returned from a committed rendezvous. The thread that commits the rendezvous is responsible for setting the maps for other threads in the rendezvous. In the map, the keys are receivers, and the values are the tokens on those receivers, if any.

Parameters:

thread - The thread.

Returns:

The result map associated with that thread.

See Also:

_setResultMap(Thread, Map)

_resolveInternalDeadlock

protected boolean _resolveInternalDeadlock()
                                    throws IllegalActionException

If the model is deadlocked, report the deadlock if parameter "SuppressDeadlockReporting" is not set to boolean true, and return false. Otherwise, return true. Deadlock occurs if the number of blocked threads equals the number of active threads.

Overrides:

_resolveInternalDeadlock in class CompositeProcessDirector

Returns:

False if deadlock occurred, true otherwise.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If thrown while getting the "SuppressDeadlockReporting" token.

_setResultMap
