Mince.Worker

Creates a proxy for a pool of stateless job processors that run in parallel.

local MyWorker = Mince.Worker(ModuleScript)

Worker Proxy

The object returned by Mince.Worker(). You interact with this single object to dispatch tasks to the entire pool.

Proxy:AwaitAll()

Yields the current script until all tasks currently running in the worker pool have completed.

-- Fire off some tasks
task.defer(function() MyWorker:DoHeavyMath() end)
task.defer(function() MyWorker:DoOtherMath() end)
 
-- Wait for both to finish
MyWorker:AwaitAll()
print("All tasks are done!")

Proxy.Shared

A SharedTable that is created once and shared across all actors in the pool. This is defined in the worker’s source module. If not defined, this will be nil.

Custom Methods

Any function defined in your worker’s source module can be called on the proxy. The call is added to a queue and automatically distributed to the next available actor in the pool. The main thread will yield until the task is complete and a result is returned.

local Result = MyWorker:Compute("some_data")
print("Worker returned:", Result)
