如何：创建使用特定计划程序策略的代理

项目
08/12/2011

代理是以异步方式与其他组件一起解决更大的计算任务的应用程序组件。代理通常具有已设置的生命周期并且会维护状态。

每个代理都可能具有独特的应用程序要求。例如，启用用户交互（检索输入或显示输出）的代理在访问计算资源时可能需要较高的优先级别。利用计划程序策略，可以控制计划程序在管理任务时使用的策略。本主题演示如何创建使用特定计划程序策略的代理。

有关将自定义计划程序策略与异步消息块一起使用的基本示例，请参见如何：指定特定的计划程序策略。

本主题使用异步代理库中的功能（如代理、消息块和消息传递函数）执行工作。有关异步代理库的更多信息，请参见异步代理库。

示例

下面的示例定义了派生自 Concurrency::agent 的两个类：permutor 和 printer。 permutor 类计算给定输入字符串的所有排列。 printer 类将进度消息打印到控制台。 permutor 类执行可能会使用所有可用计算资源的计算密集型操作。 printer 类必须及时打印每条进度消息才会有用。

为了向 printer 类提供对计算资源的公平访问权，此示例使用如何：管理计划程序实例中描述的步骤创建了一个具有自定义策略的计划程序实例。自定义策略将线程优先级别指定为最高优先级别类。

为了说明使用具有自定义策略的计划程序的好处，此示例将整个任务执行两次。此示例首先使用默认计划程序安排这两项任务，然后使用默认计划程序安排 permutor 对象，并使用具有自定义策略的计划程序安排 printer 对象。

   printer agent2(source_string, progress, printer_scheduler);

   // Start the agents.
   agent1.start();
   agent2.start();

   // Write the source string to the message buffer. This will unblock the agents.
   send(source_string, source);

   // Wait for both agents to finish.
   agent::wait(&agent1);
   agent::wait(&agent2);
}

int wmain()
{
   const wstring source(L"Grapefruit");

   // Compute all permutations on the default scheduler.

   Scheduler* default_scheduler = CurrentScheduler::Get();

   wcout << L"With default scheduler: " << endl;
   permute_string(source, *default_scheduler, *default_scheduler);
   wcout << endl;

   // Compute all permutations again. This time, provide a scheduler that
   // has higher context priority to the printer agent.

   SchedulerPolicy printer_policy(1, ContextPriority, THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGHEST);
   Scheduler* printer_scheduler = Scheduler::Create(printer_policy);

   // Register to be notified when the scheduler shuts down.
   HANDLE hShutdownEvent = CreateEvent(NULL, FALSE, FALSE, NULL);
   printer_scheduler->RegisterShutdownEvent(hShutdownEvent);

   wcout << L"With higher context priority: " << endl;
   permute_string(source, *default_scheduler, *printer_scheduler);
   wcout << endl; 

   // Release the printer scheduler.
   printer_scheduler->Release();

   // Wait for the scheduler to shut down and destroy itself.
   WaitForSingleObject(hShutdownEvent, INFINITE);

   // Close the event handle.
   CloseHandle(hShutdownEvent);
}

该示例产生下面的输出。

With default scheduler:
Computing all permutations of 'Grapefruit'...
100% complete...

With higher context priority:
Computing all permutations of 'Grapefruit'...
100% complete...

虽然这两组任务产生的结果相同，但使用自定义策略的版本可使 printer 对象能够按照提升的优先级别运行，以使其行为的响应能力更强。
