I have just added svc_multi_swrite to the RTL. This service call is used to write data to ALL the readers hanging on a channel, that is, it's a broadcast or multicast operation. All the readers are scheduled before the writer. All the readers *share* the data so should not modify it.
Unlike ordinary write, a multi write never blocks. If there are no readers, the message is simply lost. Mulitiwrite can be used to reawaken a bunch of fibres that have suspended, in particular it is perfectly suited to clocking an arbitrary collection of "chips". To organise a real time system, each fibre just reads a clock schannel with a period suited to what it is doing. A master clock chip can then dispatch time ticks by demultiplexing a suitable hi frequency clock. Another way to look at this operation is a control fork. The write sends control out to multiple readers. -- john skaller skal...@users.sourceforge.net http://felix-lang.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Flow-based real-time traffic analytics software.
