Asynchronous communication between master and slave threads

I am writing a process that has a master thread and a set of slave threads. Master thread is supposed to get jobs dynamically and assign to slave thread which is free. Master also get results back from slaves once a job is done. The number of slaves should be adjustable dynamically based on job load.

The interesting thing is that when job is in progress, master may decide to stop a job. I am thinking of some way of communication between one(master) and many(slaves) to assign jobs, stop a job (specific to a salve which does the job), get results from slave.

Will message queues be useful?

Thanks in advance

ns_job manages a thread pool and a set of named "queues". Queues have a max number of threads and when the current number of running thread reaches "max" then jobs are queued. New threads are created when there are less than maxthread number of idle threads. OPTIONS
create create ?-desc description? queueId ?maxthreads? Create a new job queue called queueId. If maxthreads is not specified, then the default of 4 is used. queue queue ?-detached? queueId script Add a new job to the queue. If there are less than maxthreads current running then the job will be started. If there are maxthreads currently running then this new job will be queued. If detached is true, then the job will be cleaned up when it completes; no wait will be necessary. The new job's ID is returned. wait wait ?-timeout seconds:microseconds? queueId jobId Wait for the specified queued or running job to finish. wait returns the results of the script. An error is thrown if the specified timeout period is reached. waitany waitany ?-timeout seconds:microseconds? queueId Wait for any job on the queue complete. An error is thrown if the specified timeout period is reached. cancel cancel queueId jobId Remove the specified job from the queue. If the job is currently running, then the job will be removed from the queue when it com- pletes. 1 (true) is returned if the job is currently running and can not be cancelled. delete delete queueId Request that the specified queue be deleted. The queue will only be deleted when all jobs are removed. jobs jobs queueId Return a list of the job IDs. queues Returns a list of the queues IDs. threadlist Returns a list of the thread pool's fields. maxthreads Max number of threads for all the queues in the thread pool. numthreads Number of allocated threads. numidle Number of currently idle threads. req stop The thread pools is being stopped. This probably means that the server is shutting down. queuelist Returns a list of the queues. A queue has the following fields: name Name of the queue. desc Description of the queue. maxthreads Max number of threads to run for this queue. numrunning Number of currently running jobs in this queue. REQ delete Someone requested this queue be deleted. Queue will not be deleted until all the jobs on the queue are removed. joblist Returns a list the jobs in the specified queue. A job has the following fields: id Job's ID state scheduled The job is schedule to run. running The job is currently running. done The job is has completed. results If the job has completed, then this field will contain the results. If the job is running or scheduled to run, then this will contain the script. code When the job is done, this will contain the return code. Codes TCL_OK TCL_ERROR TCL_RETURN TCL_BREAK TCL_CONTINUE TYPE nondetached detached REQ none wait cancel genid Generate a new unique ID. This new ID can be used as the queue ID without conflicting with any other queue ID. BUGS
