Issue #20489 has been reported by nekoyama32767 (Jinsong Yu). ---------------------------------------- Bug #20489: Ractor behavior strange in ruby master https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20489 * Author: nekoyama32767 (Jinsong Yu) * Status: Open * ruby -v: ruby 3.4.0dev (2024-05-14T01:58:31Z master 9d01f657b3) [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- This is a tarai program Run`./ruby tarai_ractor.rb 2 8` is to use 2 thread to run 8 times tarai function total, that means 4 times tarai for each ractor(thread). ``` GC.disable def split_len(len, split) ret = [] mod = len % split head = 0 tail = 0 split.times do |i| if head >= len break end k = 0 if i < mod then k = 1 end tail = tail + (len/split) + k ret.append(head...tail) head = tail end return ret end def ary_split(ary, split) return split_len(ary.length,split) end def item_check(item) if item[0] != nil 1 + item_check(item[0]) + item_check(item[1]) else 1 end end def tarai(x, y, z) = x <= y ? y : tarai(tarai(x-1, y, z), tarai(y-1, z, x), tarai(z-1, x, y)) times = ARGV[0].to_i split = ARGV[1].to_i p split_len(times, split) split_len(times, split).each.map do |sp| Ractor.new (sp) { s = _1 s.each do tarai(13, 7, 0) end } end.each(&:take) ``` The problem is in ruby 3.1.2 and ruby 3.3 `./ruby tarai_ractor.rb 1 1` has simiular execute time with `./ruby tarai_ractor.rb 8 8` because each thread only run 1 time of tarai function, like follow: ruby 3.1.2p20 (2022-04-12 revision 4491bb740a) [x86_64-linux]: ``` time ruby exp_ractor_tarai.rb 1 1 [0...1] <internal:ractor>:267: warning: Ractor is experimental, and the behavior may change in future versions of Ruby!

Ruby 3.3 and Ruby 3.1.2 do not have this problem. ---Files-------------------------------- thead16_16.png (168 KB) thread16_8.png (165 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
