Project in CS 140: Operating Systems
This is a demonstration of the step by step process of how threads divide the workload of searching for all the files that contains matched strings through a specified directory. Thread Locks were incorporated to prevent inconsistencies.
To run multithreaded,
- compile multithreaded.c
- execute compiled via the command
./<filename> <number of workers> <directory> <string to match> - terminal will output once a file gets enqueued to the task queue and when it gets dequeued and assigned to a worker thread. It will also indicate whether this file contains a matches string or not.
To run singlethreaded,
- compile singlethreaded.c
- execute compiled via the command
./<filename> <number of workers> <directory> <string to match>"(note that for singlethreaded, it will ignore what was placed on the number of workers and will only operate on the main thread.) - outputs will be the same with multithreaded
