multithreading - How do I queue perl subroutines to a thread queue instead of data? -

-

background:
in reading how multithread perl script, read (from http://perldoc.perl.org/threads.html#bugs-and-limitations)

on systems, frequent , continual creation , destruction of threads can lead ever-increasing growth in memory footprint of perl interpreter. while simple launch threads , ->join() or ->detach() them, long-lived applications, better maintain pool of threads, , reuse them work needed, using queues notify threads of pending work.

my script long-lived; it's pki ldap directory monitoring daemon running. enterprise monitoring solution generate alarm if stops running reason. script check can reach pki ldap directory, validate revocation lists on both.

problem: can find on google shows passing variables (e.g. scalars) thread queue rather subroutine itself... think i'm not understanding how implement thread queue compared how implement thread (without queues).

question 1: how can "maintain pool of threads" avoid perl interpreter eating more , more memory?
question 2: (unrelated while have code posted) there safe amount of sleep @ end of main program don't start thread more once in minute? 60 seems obvious ever cause run more once if loop fast, or perhaps miss minute because of processing time or something?

thanks in advance!

use threads; use thread::queue 3.01 qw( );  $check_conn_q      = thread::queue->new(); $validate_revoke_q = thread::queue->new();  @threads; push @threads, async {    while (my $job = $check_conn_q->dequeue()) {       check_conn(@$job);    } }; push @threads, async {    while (my $job = $validate_revoke_q->dequeue()) {       validate_revoke(@$job);    } };  while ($continue) {    ($s,$m,$h,$m,$d,$y) = localtime; $m+=1; $y+=1900;     $check_conn_q->enqueue([ @listofdsas, "/var/connect.log" ])       if $m % 5 == 0;     $validate_revoke_q->enqueue([ @listofdsas, "/var/rls.log" ])       if $m == 55;     sleep 30; }  $check_conn_q->end(); $validate_revoke_q->end(); $_->join @threads;

i'm not sure parallelisation needed here. if it's not, use

use list::util qw( min );  sub sleep_until {    ($until) = @_;    $time = time;    return if $time >= $until;    sleep($until - $time); }  $next_check_conn = $next_validate_revoke = time; while ($continue) {    sleep_until min $next_check_conn, $next_validate_revoke;    last if !$continue;     $time = time;    if ($time >= $next_check_conn) {       check_conn(@listofdsas, "/var/connect.log");       $next_check_conn = time + 5*60;    }     if ($time >= $next_validate_revoke) {       validate_revoke(@listofdsas, "/var/rls.log");       $next_validate_revoke = time + 60*60;    } }

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
