Motivation

We gain experience using a parallel fork loop. Image processing often presents the opportunity for a lot of parallelism. Here we will operate on a single image, making a parallel task for each row.

Background

Revisit the Image Batch Race Condition Exercise's Background section for information on pixels and images.

Code To Implement

ParallelTaskPerRowImageFilter

class: ParallelTaskPerRowImageFilter.java Java.png
methods: apply
package: imagefilter.exercise
source folder: student/src/main/java

apply

method: public HsvImage apply(HsvImage src, PixelFilter pixelFilter) Parallel.svg (parallel implementation required)

Attention niels epting.svg Warning: When saving the result of pixelFilter.apply(), always put the result in a new array. Don't overwrite values of the source array.

To complete this method we must return a new instance of the interface HsvImage. The provided class DefaultHsvImage implements HsvImage so should serve well.

Nicely, DefaultHsvImage provides both:

These two constructors match up well with the two different return types of the many incantations of join_fork_loop:

where R is the return type of the TaskFunction<T, R> passed to the join_fork_loop.

What should the return type from the this TaskFunction be?
