linux - Python thread generate tasks increasingly and consume too much memory and cpu -


i have file specific task , need run every 1 second. wrote program below , make file service in linux. start service, python thread generates task increasingly consumes cpu , memory. because maximum number of tasks in linux limited, after total of tasks goes beyond maximum, service crashes

as see in picture, number of tasks increasing time , high memory , cpu usage!!!

my service info

threads = [] def process():     t = threading.timer(interval=1, function=process)     t.start()     threads.append(t)     do_task()  if __name__ == '__main__':     process()      thd in threads:         thd.join()

my question: how can limit thread? how can make sure no new tasks generate before other task running?

what have written there looks fork bomb or @ least very close it

your process function keeps spawning threads run same function inside of it, , running actual job it's supposed to. means end huge number of threads in short amount of time. quick fix in right direction work first, spawn thread, so:

def process():     do_task()     t = threading.timer(interval=1, function=process)     t.start()     threads.append(t)

the important thing note here do_task() executed before additional threads being created

that being said, why need thread work @ hand , won't settle time.sleep instead?

import time while true:   time.sleep(1)   do_work()

while won't guarantee job done once every second, have constant memory footprint, , if job takes long don't run out of resources either

Is there a better way to structure post methods in Class Based Views -

i'm using class based views in django , never specify url in ajax calls , omit action parameter in form because know these requests go through post method of class based view. notice view - profile page make many requests depending on user updating on page - post method become convoluted , if/else mess example: def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): # handle user changing available date if request.post.get('availabledate') != none: self.updateavailabledate(request) return jsonresponse({'result':'success'}) if request.post.get('newprojectname') != none: creative_user = creativeuserprofile.objects.get(id = request.user.id) project = project.create_project(creative_user, request.post['newprojectname']) project.save() return jsonresponse({'projectid': project.id }) if request.post.get('projectimage') != none , request.files['file']: proj

performance - Why is XCHG reg, reg a 3 micro-op instruction on modern Intel architectures? -

i'm doing micro-optimization on performance critical part of code , came across sequence of instructions (in at&t syntax): add %rax, %rbx mov %rdx, %rax mov %rbx, %rdx i thought had use case xchg allow me shave instruction , write: add %rbx, %rax xchg %rax, %rdx however, dimay found agner fog's instruction tables , xchg 3 micro-op instruction 2 cycle latency on sandy bridge, ivy bridge, broadwell, haswell , skylake. 3 whole micro-ops , 2 cycles of latency! 3 micro-ops throws off 4-1-1-1 cadence , 2 cycle latency makes worse original in best case since last 2 instructions in original might execute in parallel. now... cpu might breaking instruction micro-ops equivalent to: mov %rax, %tmp mov %rdx, %rax mov %tmp, %rdx where tmp anonymous internal register , suppose last 2 micro-ops run in parallel latency 2 cycles. given register renaming occurs on these micro-architectures, though, doesn't make sense me done way. why wouldn't register renamer

jquery - Responsive Navbar with Sub Navbar -

good day, forgive me nav vocabulary not best. if question confusing apologize. i'm working on navigation bar needs centered on page @ 768px , above. items in nav open (or perhaps toggle) subnav lives directly below. these nav should appear centered on page. i have been able work through responsive portion of nav bar, having main items align vertically , sub nav menu of each item roll out below, , gave them indent separation. working well. however, issue not responsive side, behavior @ width greater 768px. happens toggling menu's sub navigation pushes other main items down page below sub nav. here's code: $(document).ready(function () { //stick in fixed 100% height behind navbar don't wrap $('#slide-nav.navbar-inverse').after($('<div class="inverse" id="navbar-height-col"></div>')); $('#slide-nav.navbar-default').after($('<div id="navbar-height-col"></d
