A multithreaded program that generates the Fibonacci series using Pthreads?

Answer 1

#include<stdio.h>

#include<time.h>

#include<pthread.h>

#include<stdlib.h>

#include<sys/types.h> /* need to calculate which I will implement later */

void *fibr(void *n);

void *fibr_1(void *k);

signed long long int fibonacci(signed long long int);

int main(){

clock_t begin, end;

double time_spent;

pthread_t tid,tid1;

int result,result1;

signed long long int n=6;

signed long long int m=7;

result=pthread_create(&tid,NULL,fibr,&n);

if(result){

perror("pthread_create");

return 1;

}

result1=pthread_create(&tid1,NULL,fibr,&m);

if(result1){

perror("pthread_create");

return 1;

}

if(pthread_join(tid,NULL)){

perror("pthread_join");

return 1;

}

if(pthread_join(tid1,NULL)){

perror("pthread_join");

return 1;

}

printf("Fib value=%lld\n",n+m);

pthread_exit(NULL);

}

void *fibr(void *n){

signed long long int *y=n;

signed long long int x=*y;

pthread_t tid2,tid3;

signed long long int i,j;

/* How do I assign values to i , j in order to

achieve the level viz fib(n-2)....fib(n-4) */

if(pthread_create(&tid2,NULL,fibr_1,&i))

{

perror("pthread_create");

}

if(pthread_create(&tid3,NULL,fibr_1,&j))

{

perror("pthread_create");

}

if(pthread_join(tid2,NULL))

{

perror("pthread_join");

}

if(pthread_join(tid3,NULL))

{

perror("pthread_join");

}

/* How to return the values of i, j combined with *y . if I do *y+i+j, the result

is not coming correctly */

*y=fibonacci(x);

return NULL;

}

void *fibr_1(void *k){

long long int *a=k;

long long int b=*a;

*a=fibonacci(b);

return NULL;

}

signed long long int fibonacci(signed long long int x){

if((x==0)(x==1))

return x;

return fibonacci(x-1)+fibonacci(x-2);

}

Enerates the Fibonacci series using Pthread thread library?
