Detailed Description

A CpuDispatcher is responsible for scheduling the execution of tasks passed to it by the SDK.

A typical implementation would for example use a thread pool with the dispatcher pushing tasks onto worker thread queues or a global queue.

Member Function Documentation

virtual uint32_t physx::PxCpuDispatcher::getWorkerCount (  )  const [pure virtual]

Returns the number of available worker threads for this dispatcher.

The SDK will use this count to control how many tasks are submitted. By matching the number of tasks with the number of execution units task overhead can be reduced.

virtual void physx::PxCpuDispatcher::submitTask ( PxBaseTask task  )  [pure virtual]

Called by the TaskManager when a task is to be queued for execution.

Upon receiving a task, the dispatcher should schedule the task to run when resource is available. After the task has been run, it should call the release() method and discard it's pointer.

Parameters:
[in] task The task to be run.
