OpenNARS for Application single threaded?

[corv...@gmail.com]

Hi folks

Congrats to Patrick for getting out a shiny new release of ONA.
I just had a quick poke around in the code and it looks great. Well done!

I just have one quick question about ONA and threads.
If I don't use the networked parts of ONA, can I get away with running just a single thread?
Having looked at the code, it all seems fairly procedural. I don't know if I am going to run into locking issues as my C is only OK :)

Thanks in advance

Seamus

Hi Seamus!

You will not run into locking issues.

All Shell.h and NAR.h functions are thread-safe even when the reasoner itself is running multithreaded, so no worries!

And unless you need to squeeze out some extra performance (only about 50%, and dependent on use case), I suggest to run it single-threaded. (which is the default when building it with build.sh without passing -fopenmp)

Best regards,

Patrick
