EV Utilities

(go-nursery nurse f &opt value)

Spawn a fiber into a nursery, similar to ev/go.

(join-nursery nurse)

Suspend the current fiber until the nursery is emptied.

(multithread-service thread-main n-threads)

Run instances of a function over multiple threads. On failures, restart the failed thread. Normal function returns will not trigger a restart.

(nursery)

Group a number of fibers into a single object for structured concurrency

(pcall f n)

Call a function n times (in parallel) for side effects. Each function is called with an integer argument indicating a fiber index. Returns nil.

(pdag f dag &opt n-workers)

Executes a dag by calling f on every node in the graph. Can set the number of workers for parallel execution. The graph is represented as a table mapping nodes to arrays of child nodes. Each node will only be evaluated after all children have been evaluated. Modifying dag inside f will not affect the scheduling of workers. Returns a table mapping each node to the result of (f node).

(pmap f data &opt n-workers)

Map f over data in parallel, optionally limiting parallelism to n workers.

(pmap-full f data)

Function form of ev/gather. If any of the sibling fibers error, all other siblings will be canceled. Returns the gathered results in an array. data can be any indexed data structure.

(pmap-limited f data n-workers)

Similar to pmap-full, but only runs work n-ways parallel.

(spawn-nursery nurse & body)

Similar to ev/spawn but associate spawned fibers with a nursery

(wait-cancel & body)

Wait forever until the current fiber is canceled, and then run some cleanup code.
