hreads where Thread I solves object A1 and Thread II solves object A2. As soon as A1 is completed, Thread I can move on to object B1 and as soon as A2 completes, Thread II can move on to object B3 (whichever comes first). When both A1 and A2 are complete, we can spawn a new thread (III) to take care of object B2.
If B2 completes before B3, then Thread III will terminate. If B3 completes before B2, then Thread II terminates. Whichever thread is last will pick up execution of object C3. And so on and so forth.
This sort of threading is actually not guaranteed to help much though, as it is likely that the bottleneck components in the network will still need to be handled by a single thread.
A more efficient solution would be to divvy up the execution per component to multiple threads. If you're trying to compute the Curve Closest Point for 10,000 points and your machine contains 4 cores, then we can assign 2,500 points to the first core, 2,500 points to the second core etc.
This approach will actually work when there's only a few bottleneck components and it also means the order in which components are solved is no longer important.
An even more fine-grained approach to threading would be to make the Curve Closest Point function in the Rhino SDK threaded. There's a lot of looping going on in any given Curve CP computation so the curve could be broken up into loose spans where each span is solved by a different core. Then the partial results get consolidated once all threads finish.
The benefit here is that it would be multi-core for everyone, not just Grasshopper components.
The bad news: Some functions in Rhino are not thread-safe. Meaning that data structures such as NurbsCurves cannot be modified from multiple threads at once as it will compromise their validity. You might well end up with invalid curves and quite possible weird crashes. In very bad cases it might even be that a specific function in our SDK can only be running once, so even if you were to duplicate the curve it would still not work.
Until our SDK is thread-safe there can be no global threading in Grasshopper. I don't know where we're headed with this, but I do know that we've started using some threaded algorithms in the display as of Rhino5, so it seems we're at least getting our feet wet.

,2,n)
c (0,1,2,n)
And i Would like to have:
d (0(a0+b0+c0),1(a1+b1+c1),n(an+bn+cn) , d being a list of polylines ( triangles in this particular case because an, bn and cn are three sides of a same triangle.)
Thank you…
hope it will do the job (maybe its not the cleanest way, but it works for me sometimes. Depending on the ending of the lists you should wrap or not the shift component.
Good luck…

many applications, such as language modeling, text classification, and machine translation. Additionally, aggregation grammars can be combined with other techniques such as spell checkers to improve the accuracy of language processing systems. The 맞춤법 검사기 can detect and correct misspellings in a sentence, enabling the aggregation grammar to parse it more accurately and efficiently.…
