SharedBarrier

class streaming.base.shared.SharedBarrier(filelock_path, shm_name)

A barrier that works inter-process using a filelock and shared memory.

We set the number of processes (and thereby initialize num_exit) on the first time this object is called. This is because the object is created in a per-rank process, and called by worker processes.

Parameters

• filelock_path (str) – Path to lock file on local filesystem.

• shm_name (str) – Shared memory object name in /dev/shm.
