[#365153] synchronize a "mocked" clock in a distributed system — Chuck Remes <cremes.devlist@...>

I've been banging on a problem for a few days now and don't feel any closer to solving it. I'm hoping some of the big brains on the ruby ML can shed some light. Following are a few paragraphs with a brief system overview before I state the problem. I apologize in advance for this question being only tangentially related to Ruby the language. :)

Hi people,

[ANN] nmap-1.1.0

From: "ara.t.howard" <ara.t.howard@...>
Date: 2010-07-25 15:24:11 UTC
List: ruby-talk #366478
NAME

  nmap (reference ruby class which combines narray and mmap)
  na_str (c extension)

REQUIREMENTS

  mmap : http://moulon.inra.fr/ruby/mmap.html
  narray : http://narray.rubyforge.org/

URIS

  http://codeforpeople.com/lib/ruby/nmap/


SYNOPSIS

  na_str is designed to allow data sharing between narray object and other ruby
  objects.  the shared data is that returned by the objects to_s or
to_str method
  and rb_string_new4.  using this technique memory mapped (using guy's mmap
  extensions) data can be altered with no explicit io on the users part and
  partial changed to numerical grids can occur very quickly and persistently.

  the nmap.rb reference impl is a concrete example of this usage and is
  included in the distribution.


EXAMPLE USAGE

    jib:~/eg/ruby/na_str > cat a.rb
    #
    # the nmap extension is installed along with na_str
    #
      require 'nmap'
    #
    # the NMap ctor interface is similar to NArray's, but a backing
file must also
    # be specified
    #
      path, x, y = 'int.data', 3, 4
      nmap = NMap.int path, x, y
    #
    # copy the last row to the first
    #
      nmap.na[true, 0] = nmap.na[true, 3]
    #
    # set the last row to be the current time.  if you run this a few
times you'll
    # notice that changes to the narray are automatically written to the to
    # backing file via the magic of mmap
    #
      nmap.na[true, 3] = Time.now.to_i
    #
    # show the narray
    #
      p nmap.na


  jib:~/eg/ruby/na_str > ruby a.rb
  NArray(ref).int(3,4):
  [ [ 0, 0, 0 ],
    [ 0, 0, 0 ],
    [ 0, 0, 0 ],
    [ 1151439012, 1151439012, 1151439012 ] ]

  jib:~/eg/ruby/na_str > ruby a.rb
  NArray(ref).int(3,4):
  [ [ 1151439012, 1151439012, 1151439012 ],
    [ 0, 0, 0 ],
    [ 0, 0, 0 ],
    [ 1151439014, 1151439014, 1151439014 ] ]


SPEED

  jib:~/eg/ruby/na_str > cat a.rb
  #
  # reference impl installed with na_str
  #
    require 'nmap'
  #
  # setup a narray grid containing 1 gb of ints
  #
    gb = 2 ** 30
    mb = 2 ** 20
    sizeof_int = [42].pack('i').size
    gig_of_ints = gb / sizeof_int
    nmap = NMap.int '1GB',  gig_of_ints
  #
  # set about 1 million of the ints to 42
  #
    nmap.na[0 .. mb] = 42
  #
  # show that the data was written
  #
    p nmap.na[mb - 1]


  jib:~/eg/ruby/na_str > time ruby a.rb
  42

  real    0m0.078s
