# NodeJS Multi-Threading Match Solution
|
|
|
|
See `node-match.js` and `node-match-worker.js`
|
|
|
|
## Methods and Properties in `node-match`
|
|
|
|
- `createBuffer`: create shared buffer array
|
|
single copy of data regardless of number of workers
|
|
fixed size based on `options.dbMax`
|
|
- `appendRecord`: add additional batch of descriptors to buffer
|
|
can append batch of records to buffer at anytime
|
|
workers are informed of the new content after append has been completed
|
|
- `workersStart`: start or expand pool of `threadPoolSize` workers
|
|
each worker runs `node-match-worker` and listens for messages from main thread
|
|
can shutdown workers or create additional worker threads on-the-fly
|
|
safe against workers that exit
|
|
- `workersClose`: close workers in a pool
|
|
first request workers to exit then terminate after timeout
|
|
- `match`: dispach a match job to a worker
|
|
returns first match that satisfies `minThreshold`
|
|
assigment to workers using round-robin
|
|
since timing for each job is near-fixed and predictable
|
|
- `getDescriptor`: get descriptor array for a given id from a buffer
|
|
- `fuzDescriptor`: small randomize descriptor content for harder match
|
|
- `getLabel`: fetch label for resolved descriptor index
|
|
- `loadDB`: load face database from a JSON file `dbFile`
|
|
extracts descriptors and adds them to buffer
|
|
extracts labels and maintains them in main thread
|
|
for test purposes loads same database `dbFact` times to create a very large database
|
|
|
|
`node-match` runs in a listens for messages from workers until `maxJobs` have been reached
|
|
|
|
## Performance
|
|
|
|
Linear performance decrease that depends on number of records in database
|
|
Non-linear performance that increases with number of worker threads due to communication overhead
|
|
|
|
- Face dataase with 10k records:
|
|
> threadPoolSize: 1 => ~60 ms / match job
|
|
> threadPoolSize: 6 => ~25 ms / match job
|
|
- Face database with 50k records:
|
|
> threadPoolSize: 1 => ~300 ms / match job
|
|
> threadPoolSize: 6 => ~100 ms / match job
|
|
- Face database with 100k records:
|
|
> threadPoolSize: 1 => ~600 ms / match job
|
|
> threadPoolSize: 6 => ~200 ms / match job
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
> node node-match
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
2021-10-13 07:53:36 INFO: options: { dbFile: './faces.json', dbMax: 10000, threadPoolSize: 6, workerSrc: './node-match-worker.js', debug: false, minThreshold: 0.9, descLength: 1024 }
|
|
2021-10-13 07:53:36 DATA: created shared buffer: { maxDescriptors: 10000, totalBytes: 40960000, totalElements: 10240000 }
|
|
