Hi

Using TPL i am able to consume all cores of my machine, but sometimes the CPU usage reached to 100%. My question is how can we forcefully tell to program the terminate the all threads which are currently using and reset the task again.

Below is my program -

C#
Parallel.For(0, loopCount, parallelOptions, loopno =>
{
    for (int i = 0; i < tDSInput.Tables[0].Rows.Count; i++)
    {
     
        ////////Here i want to chk the CPU usage (if cpu usage is > 95%) then stop all running threads else normal execution.  
         
        
        var locker = new object();
        Monitor.Enter(locker);
        try
        {
            var tasks = Task.Factory.StartNew(() => ABC(),TaskCreationOptions.LongRunning)
            .ContinueWith(t => DEF(), TaskContinuationOptions.ExecuteSynchronously)
            .ContinueWith(t => GHI(), TaskContinuationOptions.ExecuteSynchronously)
            .ContinueWith(t => JKL(), TaskContinuationOptions.ExecuteSynchronously)
            ....
            ....
            ....
            ....
            ....
            ....
            .ContinueWith(t => XYZ(), TaskContinuationOptions.ExecuteSynchronously)
            Task.WaitAll(tasks);
        }
        finally
        {
            Monitor.Exit(locker);
        }
    } 
} 


How do I do that?

What you are attempting to do goes way beyond what the TPL (maybe even C# all together) was built for. The library is designed to scale it self across the available logical processors. The CPU usage will always spike to 100% when you use this library. The better question here is to ask, why do you need to stop all your tasks when the utilization hits 100%? Do you need to allow another process to take higher priority? Now we are taking task scheduling and process affinity.
