multithreading - .NET - Block main thread until there are any available threads -

-

i have process main thread reading file , splitting parts. parts require further processing. utilize available threads downstream processing utilizing cpu (or many cores) possible. don't want create excessive backlog main thread, need main thread wait add queue until there available thread.

i see many articles vb.net 4.0: looking execute multiple threads, wait until threads completed before resuming, waiting all threads complete, whereas need any threads available

is can tackle task parallel library, or should manually creating threads , monitoring threadpool?

using reader new streamreader(filename)             currentblocksize = reader.readblock(currentbuffer, 0, buffersize)          runningbuffer &= new string(currentbuffer)          if runningbuffer.contains(rowdelimiter)             lineparts = runningbuffer.split(rowdelimiter)              integer = 0 lineparts.count - 1                 if < lineparts.count - 1                      'make synchronous call blocks until'                      'another thread available process line'                     addlinetotheprocessingqueue(currentline)                  else                     runningbuffer = lineparts(i)                 end if             next         end if      loop while currentblocksize = buffersize end using

paste code new console application.

How to calculate SNR of signals in MATLAB? -

-
i've encountered simple, yet fundamental problem on calculating snr: there several signals : s1 = original , pure clean signal without noise. n1 = white gaussian noise going added s1. s2 = s1 + n1 (the noisy signal before performing noise-reduction algorithm) s3 = noise-reduced signal (after performing noise reduction algorithm) n2 = s3 - s1 (the amount of noise after performing noise-reduction algorithm) now want compare snr before , after performing noise-reduction algorithm. which signals should consider snr_before!? s1/n1 or s2/n1 ? which signals should consider snr_after!? s3/n1 or s3/n2 ? which commands or functions should use in matlab in order compute snr_before , snr_after? thanks billion putting time on helping me. what know calculating snr before : snrbeforenoise = mean( signal .^ 2 ) / mean( noise .^ 2 ); and snr after : residual_noise = signal - noise_reduced_signal; snr_after = mean( signal .^ 2 ) / mean( residual_noise .^ 2...

Image
i need place custom knob image shadow uislider. far have image of 38x38, of there region defines shadow of knob. now while using image, when slide knob extreme ends actual knob not able cover end points, hence end points visible under transparent region of knob image this code using customize uislider uiimage *slidebtimg = [uiimage imagenamed:sliderknobimg]; [self.ratingslider setthumbimage:slidebtimg forstate:uicontrolstatenormal]; [self.ratingslider setthumbimage:slidebtimg forstate:uicontrolstatehighlighted]; how can implement custom knob shadow beneath it, covering end points?? look inside uislider.h , there methods let customize slider knob , track needed.
