Member Function Documentation

virtual AsyncWorkProcessor* IAsyncWorkProcessorFactory::CreateProcessorInstance ( ) const

pure virtual

Create an instance of your work processor that will subsequently be called to process packets. Note that is IsThreadable(), the thread context in which AsyncWorkProcessor::ProcessPacket() gets called may be different from call to call and also different than the creation thread context.

virtual LoadModel IAsyncWorkProcessorFactory::GetLoadModel ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns

what type of work you do to help the architecture load balance

virtual uint32 IAsyncWorkProcessorFactory::GetMaximumInstances ( uint32  nCPUCores ) const

pure virtual

Returns

the maximum number of processor instances the architecture is ever allowed to create (or maybe it's just recommended). Not that if !IsThreadable(), this will be 1.

virtual bool IAsyncWorkProcessorFactory::IsThreadable ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns

true if the underlying processor is thread safe, false otherwise
