12     /*
13     * These calls are designed similarly to the ones in raycalls.c,
14     * but allow for multiple rendering processes on the same host
15     * machine. There is no sense in specifying more child processes
16 greg 2.21 * than you have processor cores, but one child may help by allowing
17 greg 2.1 * asynchronous ray computation in an interactive program, and
18     * will protect the caller from fatal rendering errors.
19     *
20 greg 2.21 * You should first read and understand the header in raycalls.c,
21 greg 2.1 * as some things are explained there that are not repated here.
22     *
23     * The first step is opening one or more rendering processes
24     * with a call to ray_pinit(oct, nproc). Before calling fork(),
25     * ray_pinit() loads the octree and data structures into the
26 greg 2.13 * caller's memory, and ray_popen() synchronizes the ambient
27     * file, if any. Shared memory permits all sorts of queries
28 greg 2.21 * that wouldn't be possible otherwise without causing any real
29 greg 2.1 * memory overhead, since all the static data are shared
30 greg 2.21 * between processes. Rays are traced using a simple
31 greg 2.1 * queuing mechanism, explained below.
32     *
33 greg 2.14 * The ray queue buffers RAYQLEN rays before sending to
34 greg 2.21 * children, each of which may internally buffer RAYQLEN rays
35     * during evaluation. Rays are not returned in the order
36     * they are sent when multiple processes are open.
37 greg 2.14 *
38 greg 2.13 * Rays are queued and returned by a single
39 greg 2.1 * ray_pqueue() call. A ray_pqueue() return
40     * value of 0 indicates that no rays are ready
41     * and the queue is not yet full. A return value of 1
42     * indicates that a ray was returned, though it is probably
43     * not the one you just requested. Rays may be identified by
44     * the rno member of the RAY struct, which is incremented
45     * by the rayorigin() call, or may be set explicitly by
46     * the caller. Below is an example call sequence:
47     *
48     * myRay.rorg = ( ray origin point )
49     * myRay.rdir = ( normalized ray direction )
50     * myRay.rmax = ( maximum length, or zero for no limit )
51 greg 2.11 * rayorigin(&myRay, PRIMARY, NULL, NULL);
52 greg 2.1 * myRay.rno = ( my personal ray identifier )
53     * if (ray_pqueue(&myRay) == 1)
54     * { do something with results }
55     *
56     * Note the differences between this and the simpler ray_trace()
57     * call. In particular, the call may or may not return a value
58     * in the passed ray structure. Also, you need to call rayorigin()
59 greg 2.7 * yourself, which is normally called for you by ray_trace(). The
60     * benefit is that ray_pqueue() will trace rays faster in
61 greg 2.1 * proportion to the number of CPUs you have available on your
62     * system. If the ray queue is full before the call, ray_pqueue()
63     * will block until a result is ready so it can queue this one.
64 greg 2.3 * The global int ray_pnidle indicates the number of currently idle
65 greg 2.1 * children. If you want to check for completed rays without blocking,
66     * or get the results from rays that have been queued without
67     * queuing any new ones, the ray_presult() call is for you:
68     *
69     * if (ray_presult(&myRay, 1) == 1)
70     * { do something with results }
71     *
72     * If the second argument is 1, the call won't block when
73     * results aren't ready, but will immediately return 0.
74     * If the second argument is 0, the call will block
75     * until a value is available, returning 0 only if the
76     * queue is completely empty. A negative return value
77     * indicates that a rendering process died. If this
78 greg 2.21 * happens, ray_pclose(0) is automatically called to close
79 greg 2.3 * all child processes, and ray_pnprocs is set to zero.
80 greg 2.1 *
81     * If you just want to fill the ray queue without checking for
82 greg 2.3 * results, check ray_pnidle and call ray_psend():
83 greg 2.1 *
84 greg 2.3 * while (ray_pnidle) {
85 greg 2.1 * ( set up ray )
86     * ray_psend(&myRay);
87     * }
88     *
89 greg 2.7 * Note that it is a fatal error to call ra_psend() when
90     * ray_pnidle is zero. The ray_presult() and/or ray_pqueue()
91     * functions may be called subsequently to read back the results.
92 greg 2.1 *
93     * When you are done, you may call ray_pdone(1) to close
94     * all child processes and clean up memory used by Radiance.
95     * Any queued ray calculations will be awaited and discarded.
96     * As with ray_done(), ray_pdone(0) hangs onto data files
97     * and fonts that are likely to be used in subsequent renderings.
98 greg 2.21 * Whether you need to clean up memory or not, you should
99     * at least call ray_pclose(0) to await the child processes.
100 greg 2.1 *
101     * Warning: You cannot affect any of the rendering processes
102     * by changing global parameter values onece ray_pinit() has
103     * been called. Changing global parameters will have no effect
104     * until the next call to ray_pinit(), which restarts everything.
105     * If you just want to reap children so that you can alter the
106     * rendering parameters without reloading the scene, use the
107     * ray_pclose(0) and ray_popen(nproc) calls to close
108 greg 2.7 * then restart the child processes after the changes are made.
109 greg 2.1 *
110     * Note: These routines are written to coordinate with the
111     * definitions in raycalls.c, and in fact depend on them.
112     * If you want to trace a ray and get a result synchronously,
113 greg 2.13 * use the ray_trace() call to compute it in the parent process.
114 greg 2.7 * This will not interfere with any subprocess calculations,
115     * but beware that a fatal error may end with a call to quit().
116 greg 2.1 *
117     * Note: One of the advantages of using separate processes
118     * is that it gives the calling program some immunity from
119     * fatal rendering errors. As discussed in raycalls.c,
120     * Radiance tends to throw up its hands and exit at the
121     * first sign of trouble, calling quit() to return control
122 greg 2.7 * to the top level. Although you can avoid exit() with
123 greg 2.1 * your own longjmp() in quit(), the cleanup afterwards
124     * is always suspect. Through the use of subprocesses,
125     * we avoid this pitfall by closing the processes and
126     * returning a negative value from ray_pqueue() or
127     * ray_presult(). If you get a negative value from either
128     * of these calls, you can assume that the processes have
129 greg 2.21 * been cleaned up with a call to ray_pclose(), though you
130 greg 2.1 * will have to call ray_pdone() yourself if you want to
131 greg 2.7 * free memory. Obviously, you cannot continue rendering
132     * without risking further errors, but otherwise your
133     * process should not be compromised.
