Hi Xing, You can use the environment variable X10_NTHREADS to specify the number of threads to use.
export X10_NTHREADS=4 hope this helps. - ganesh In the beginning there was nothing. God said, 'Let there be light!' And there was light. There was still nothing, but you could see it a whole lot better. - Ellen DeGeneres --- On Sat, 10/4/10, Liu, Xing <xing....@gatech.edu> wrote: > From: Liu, Xing <xing....@gatech.edu> > Subject: Re: [X10-users] The use of "!" > To: "Mailing list for users of the X10 programming language" > <x10-users@lists.sourceforge.net> > Date: Saturday, 10 April, 2010, 7:57 AM > The code piece below is from X10 > samples. > > For this case, how can I specify the number of threads to > run it? > > > public static def run(a:Array[int](1), b: > Rail[int]!) { > finish > foreach((i) in > a.region) { > > Console.OUT.println(here.id); > > val bin = a(i)% b.length; > > atomic b(bin)++; > } > > Regards, > > Xing > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Vijay Saraswat" <vi...@saraswat.org> > To: "Mailing list for users of the X10 programming > language" <x10-users@lists.sourceforge.net> > Sent: Friday, April 9, 2010 7:31:18 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada > Eastern > Subject: Re: [X10-users] The use of "!" > > Liu, Xing wrote: > > Hi, > > > > > > Is there anyone could tell me the meaning of "!" in > the code below? thanks > > > > public static def run(a:Array[int](1)!, b: Rail[int]!) > { > > ... > > } > > > Yes, ! is a place clause. > > Specifically, this declaration should be read as saying: > run requires an > argument a, which must be an Array of int of rank 1 that is > local (i.e. > a.home==here), and b must be a Rail of int that is local > (b.home==here). > > Said differently, the type T! is the type T > {self.home==this.home} in > case T does not occur in exectuable code (e.g. is the type > in a field > declaration, or occurs in an implements clause) and the > type > T{self.home==here} otherwise, i.e. in case T occurs in the > declaration > or body of methods or constructors, or in the body of > initializers. > > If you declared the method as > > public static def run(a:Array[int](1), b: Rail[int]) { > ... > } > > then a and b are not required to be local.
