Multi-threaded switchmap

[s-l-teichmann]

Hello together,

We have created a multi-threaded version of switchmap [1].
Background: If you have a large system of switches to scan
it could take a long time to scan the switches sequentially.

In this version you can specify

# Number of threads to scan the switches.
$NumThreads = 5;

in your ThisSite.pm to scan $NumThreads switches in parallel.

Maybe you find this useful.

Kind regards,

Sascha L. Teichmann

Hi Sascha,

I'm currently running Switchmap v14.0. Besides adding $NumThreads = 5; to ThisSite.pm, what changes do I have to make to run the multi-threaded version? Thanks

Checking out the threading branch of [1] and your adjustment should be enough. Please, report back if does not work.

Thank you Sascha for creating the multi-threaded version of switchmap. I just upgraded to a new server and had a chance to try the multi-threaded version, which saves a lot of time when running SwitchMap.pl.
