Lets say you have 10 threads, in one function and you want to maximize parallelity between them, what is the best way to do that:

1. with 10 mutexes, assign each mutex to a thread?
2. with semaphore (0, 10) ?
3. with array/list of mutexes?

What would you do?

Thanks,

Solution 2

None of them, if you are lookig for optimal parallelization you are looking for ways to avoid sychronization between the worker threads.

None of them. All variants look like complete gibberish. And the question itself does not have exact sense. In reality, it depends on what those threads should do, so further discussion of this question simply makes no sense.

I understand that it could be a school test question. If so, leave this school. A schooling based on multiple-choice questions, especially idiotic ones, cannot teach anything.
