All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

Enclosing class:

RASM

Deprecated. Use Parallel

public static class RASM.Parallel

extends Instruction

Execute in parallel.

Executes the code starting at addr₀ in parallel with the code starting at addr₁ in parallel with ... in parallel with the code starting at addr_n-1. Execution resumes at the instruction following this one once both of those parallel executions have terminated.

Each of the executing sub-threads has a copy of the (top-most) stack frame (after all the addresses have been popped) as its sole stack frame, and after the termination of all of them, the stack frame of the parent thread will have the same stack frame at the top as all of the sub-threads received, though it will also have all the stack frames below the current one as well, unlike the sub-threads. Thus, it is a checked error for a sub-thread to attempt to return from its initial stack frame, even if the parent of that thread was not in its topmost frame. (In other words, the number of return instructions performed by a thread at any point must not exceed the number of call instructions performed by that thread - a sane restriction, in my opinion.)
