Hi Danny,
You can just add a counter for each thread and propagate the counter to the
main thread at the end of the computation.
For instance, a hash local to each thread mapping from "job id" (in your
case the name of the file) and the time. At the end of the execution, you
can send the counters back to the main thread though a Queue and let the
main thread do some statistics and output the results.
I pseudocode:
task queue Q;
counters queue C;
thread {
create counter c_X;
while there is "something" in Q
do "something";
c_X{something} = time required to do "something";
enqueue c_X in C;
}
main {
create N threads;
load Q with the tasks to be done;
wait the N thread to finish (join);
get all the counters c_i from C;
do something with c_1 ... c_N
}
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
nids
