Introduction
Considerafactorywith36machines,whicharearrangedin6rowsand
6columns(i.e.,6machinesineachrow).Themanagerofthefactory
assignsqualitycheck(QC)taskstothesemachines.Eachmachine
takessometimetofinishitsQCtaskandrecordstheresultonthe
resultsheet.

Tasks
UsingPthreads,designandimplementamultithreadedC++program
underLinuxthatworksasfollows:

Amasterthreadiscreatedtomodelthemanagerofthefactory.
o ThemanagerhastoassignN(36)QCtaskstomachinesinrowmajororderintheformof
[row,column]where1row6and1column6(Hint1).
o ThemanagerhastowaituntilalltheQCtasksarefinished.
o WhenalltheQCtasksarefinished,themanagerhastochecktheresultsheettofindoutthe
numberofunqualifiedproducts(Hint4).
EachQCtaskismodeledwithaworkerthread(createdbythemasterthread).
o EachQCtaskisassignedamachinenumberintheformof[row,column]where1row
6and1column6(Hint1).
o Eachmachinetakessometimes,rangingfrom5to10seconds,tofinishitsQCtask(Hint2).
o WhenamachinefinishesitsQCtask,ithastorecordtheresult(Qstandsforqualifiedand
Ustandsforunqualified)ontheresultsheet,accordingtoitsmachinenumber(Hint4).
Suppose,onaverage,90%oftheproductsarequalified(Hint3).

Hints
1. Passingparameterstoeachthread:Whenthemasterthread(manager)createstheNworkerthreads
(QCtasks),itpassestoeachworkerthreadamachinenumberinrowmajororder((1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,
4),(1,5),,(6,6)).Thissteprequirespassingtwonumbers(rowandcolumn)toeachworkerthread.
2. SimulatingthetimetakentofinishaQCtask:TosimulatethetimetakenforamachinetofinishitsQC
task,youcanmaketheworkerthreadsleepforarandomperiodoftime.Forexample,
sleep(rand()%6+5)canbeusedtosimulatethetimetakentofinishaQCtask,rangingfrom5to10
seconds(http://linux.die.net/man/3/sleep,
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/cplusplus/cpp_numbers.htm).
3. Simulatingtheproportionofqualifiedproducts:Tosimulateonaverage90%oftheproductsare
qualified,youcancheckthecondition:rand()%100 < 90ineachworkerthread.Iftrue,the
productisqualified;otherwise,theproductisunqualified.
4. Returningresultstothemasterthread:TheresultsheetisusedtorecordtheresultsoftheQCtasks.
