Delphi D10.X 并行库PPL编程系列之 TParallel.For

delphi中的RTL（运行库）提供了并行编程库（PPL --Parallel Programming Library），让您的应用程序可以在跨平台应用中有效的使用多个CPU并行运行任务的能力。
使用TParallel.For 使循环更快。

TParallel.For说明

TParallel.For通过指定的整数索引值进行迭代，对每次迭代都调用事件处理程序，在并行线程中执行这些调用的程序。迭代器事件是否在并行线程中处理取决于可用的线程资源和性能。
为了表示他与常规的For是一样的功能，TParallel.For同样也使用了For的名称，但TParallel.For使用的是并行执行方式，而不象常规for循环一样一个接一个地串行执行。

TParallel.For重载方法

为了适应不同的需要，TParallel.For提供了很多的重载方法，虽然每个TParallel.For重载方法本质上执行相同的操作，但每个重载方法因参数不同，在执行期间提供功能与信息也是不同的。

以下是不同的重载方法：

class function &For(Sender: TObject; ALowInclusive, AHighInclusive: Integer; AIteratorEvent: TIteratorEvent): TLoopResult; overload; static; inline;
class function &For(Sender: TObject; ALowInclusive, AHighInclusive: Integer; AIteratorEvent: TIteratorEvent; APool: TThreadPool): TLoopResult; overload; static; inline;

class function &For(Sender: TObject; ALowInclusive, AHighInclusive: Int64; AIteratorEvent: TIteratorEvent64): TLoopResult; overload; static; inline;
class function &For(Sender: TObject; ALowInclusive, AHighInclusive: Int64; AIteratorEvent: TIteratorEvent64; APool: TThreadPool): TLoopResult; overload; static; inline;
class function &For(Sender: TObject; ALowInclusive, AHighInclusive: Int64; AIteratorEvent: TIteratorStateEvent64): TLoopResult; overload; static; inline;
class function &For(Sender: TObject; ALowInclusive, AHighInclusive: Int64; AIteratorEvent: TIteratorStateEvent64; APool: TThreadPool): TLoopResult; overload; static; inline;

class function &For(Sender: TObject; AStride, ALowInclusive, AHighInclusive: Int64; AIteratorEvent: TIteratorStateEvent64; APool: TThreadPool): TLoopResult; overload; static; inline;
class function &For(ALowInclusive, AHighInclusive: Int64; const AIteratorEvent: TProc<Int64>): TLoopResult; overload; static; inline;
class function &For(ALowInclusive, AHighInclusive: Int64; const AIteratorEvent: TProc<Int64>; APool: TThreadPool): TLoopResult; overload; static; inline;
class function &For(ALowInclusive, AHighInclusive: Int64; const AIteratorEvent: TProc<Int64, TLoopState>): TLoopResult; overload; static; inline;
class function &For(ALowInclusive, AHighInclusive: Int64; const AIteratorEvent: TProc<Int64, TLoopState>; APool: TThreadPool): TLoopResult; overload; static; inline;
class function &For(AStride, ALowInclusive, AHighInclusive: Int64; const AIteratorEvent: TProc<Int64>): TLoopResult; overload; static; inline;
class function &For(AStride, ALowInclusive, AHighInclusive: Int64; const AIteratorEvent: TProc<Int64>; APool: TThreadPool): TLoopResult; overload; static; inline;
class function &For(AStride, ALowInclusive, AHighInclusive: Int64; const AIteratorEvent: TProc<Int64, TLoopState>): TLoopResult; overload; static; inline;
class function &For(AStride, ALowInclusive, AHighInclusive: Int64; const AIteratorEvent: TProc<Int64, TLoopState>; APool: TThreadPool): TLoopResult; overload; static; inline;

可以看到，TParallel.For的所有重载都会返回TParallel.TLoopResult。在执行完TParallel.For iterator事件的所有迭代后，TParallel.For返回的TLoopResult中，会将 Completed 设置为True。
TLoopResult 定义如下：

    TLoopResult = recordprivateFCompleted: Boolean;FLowestBreakIteration: Variant;publicproperty Completed: Boolean read FCompleted;property LowestBreakIteration: Variant read FLowestBreakIteration;end;

在使用具有Sender参数的TParallel.For重载时，需要调用者传递一个对象实例，这个对象实例将在每次迭代中作为其Sender参数发送给迭代事件，这与RAD Studio中的其他事件处理程序一样。对于不需要Sender参数参与到事件过程中的，可以将Sender设置为nil传递给迭代事件。

TParallel.For的所有重载方法都涉及参数ALowInclusive和AHighInclusive，它们是Integer或Int64值，分别表示迭代的上下边界。也就是说，如果ALowInclusive的值设置为1、AHighInclusive设置为4，则迭代器事件将在1和4之间执行。
AStride参数允许您调整并行运行的性能。TParallel.For循环使用线程池来管理与执行工作。如果需要执行的工作很少，使用过多的线程反而可能会影响其最终性能。如果将AStride参数设置为大于1，然后根据AStride为每项工作进行分组。这减少这个数值，会减少同步开销上的时间，但代价是减少了循环中的并行性。

迭代事件处理程序的区别在于迭代范围Integer或Int64的大小，以及是否存在TParallel.TLoopState，可以参看下面涉及Sender参数方法的类型定义。

  TIteratorEvent = procedure (Sender: TObject; AIndex: Integer) of object;TIteratorStateEvent = procedure (Sender: TObject; AIndex: Integer; const LoopState: TLoopState) of object;TIteratorEvent64 = procedure (Sender: TObject; AIndex: Int64) of object;TIteratorStateEvent64 = procedure (Sender: TObject; AIndex: Int64; const LoopState: TLoopState) of object;

不是所有迭代事件处理程序都有Sender参数，你也可以使用不带Sender参数的方法，只是他们并没定义为类型。例如：

 const AIteratorEvent: TProc<Int64>

当APool参数指定TThreadPool时，可以通过TThreadPool.SetMinWorkerThreads和ThreadPool.SetMaxWorkerThreads方法来控制迭代事件可用的线程资源。
在使用这些方法时，过多的并发线程会产生开销，从而会减少或消除并行执行程序的优势。

TParallel.For演示

演示中使用到的控件

在这里插入图片描述
使用两个按钮分别执行常规For循环及TParallel.For，通过Memo显示执行结果。

添加使用单元

usesSystem.Threading, // 需要引用PPL库System.Diagnostics,System.SyncObjs;

先建立一个计算函数

//演示用的执行计算的函数
function IsPrime(N: Integer): Boolean;
varTest, k: Integer;
beginif N <= 3 thenIsPrime := N > 1else if ((N mod 2) = 0) or ((N mod 3) = 0) thenIsPrime := FalseelsebeginIsPrime := True;k := Trunc(Sqrt(N));Test := 5;while Test <= k dobeginif ((N mod Test) = 0) or ((N mod (Test + 2)) = 0) thenbeginIsPrime := False;break; { 跳出for循环 }end;Test := Test + 6;end;end;
end;

设置一个常数

constMax =5000000;

分别为两个按钮增加处理事件

procedure TForm5.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
varI, Tot: Integer;SW: TStopwatch;
begin// 计算低于给定值的质数Tot:=0;SW := TStopWatch.Create;SW.Start;for I := 1 to Max dobeginif IsPrime(I) thenInc(Tot);end;SW.Stop;Memo1.Lines.Add(Format('顺序For循环。 时间（以毫秒为单位）：%d - 找到质数：%d', [SW.ElapsedMilliseconds,Tot]));
end;procedure TForm5.Button3Click(Sender: TObject);
varTot: Integer;SW: TStopwatch;
begintry// 计算低于给定值的质数Tot :=0;SW :=TStopWatch.Create;SW.Start;TParallel.For(2,1,Max,procedure(I:Int64)beginif IsPrime(I) thenTInterlocked.Increment(Tot);end);SW.Stop;Memo1.Lines.Add(Format('并行循环。 时间（以毫秒为单位）：%d - 找到质数：%d', [SW.ElapsedMilliseconds,Tot]));except on E:EAggregateException doShowMessage(E.ToString);end;
end;
