Chapter 30: Multi-processing, multi-core, and multi-threading

This chapter describes how MIL handles multi-processing on a single core, processing on multiple cores, and multi-threading.

• Multi-processing
• Transparent multi-core use
• • Setting the maximum number of CPU cores per thread
  • Controlling where and how the processing occurs
  • • Core affinity
    • Priority
    • NUMA Support
  • Basic steps to using multi-core processing
• Multi-threading
• • MIL and multi-threading
  • • Creating threads using MIL
    • Thread execution
    • Synchronization and mutex
    • Thread control
    • Using image processing and analysis contexts in multiple threads
    • Thread-safety in MIL
    • Error reporting
