Struct tokio::runtime::Builder

source ·
pub struct Builder { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

Builds Tokio Runtime with custom configuration values.

Methods can be chained in order to set the configuration values. The Runtime is constructed by calling build.

New instances of Builder are obtained via Builder::new_multi_thread or Builder::new_current_thread.

See function level documentation for details on the various configuration settings.

Examples

use tokio::runtime::Builder;

fn main() {
    // build runtime
    let runtime = Builder::new_multi_thread()
        .worker_threads(4)
        .thread_name("my-custom-name")
        .thread_stack_size(3 * 1024 * 1024)
        .build()
        .unwrap();

    // use runtime ...
}

Implementations§

Returns a new builder with the current thread scheduler selected.

Configuration methods can be chained on the return value.

To spawn non-Send tasks on the resulting runtime, combine it with a LocalSet.

Returns a new builder with the multi thread scheduler selected.

Configuration methods can be chained on the return value.

Enables both I/O and time drivers.

Doing this is a shorthand for calling enable_io and enable_time individually. If additional components are added to Tokio in the future, enable_all will include these future components.

Examples
use tokio::runtime;

let rt = runtime::Builder::new_multi_thread()
    .enable_all()
    .build()
    .unwrap();

Sets the number of worker threads the Runtime will use.

This can be any number above 0 though it is advised to keep this value on the smaller side.

This will override the value read from environment variable TOKIO_WORKER_THREADS.

Default

The default value is the number of cores available to the system.

When using the current_thread runtime this method has no effect.

Examples
Multi threaded runtime with 4 threads
use tokio::runtime;

// This will spawn a work-stealing runtime with 4 worker threads.
let rt = runtime::Builder::new_multi_thread()
    .worker_threads(4)
    .build()
    .unwrap();

rt.spawn(async move {});
Current thread runtime (will only run on the current thread via Runtime::block_on)
use tokio::runtime;

// Create a runtime that _must_ be driven from a call
// to `Runtime::block_on`.
let rt = runtime::Builder::new_current_thread()
    .build()
    .unwrap();

// This will run the runtime and future on the current thread
rt.block_on(async move {});
Panics

This will panic if val is not larger than 0.

Specifies the limit for additional threads spawned by the Runtime.

These threads are used for blocking operations like tasks spawned through spawn_blocking. Unlike the worker_threads, they are not always active and will exit if left idle for too long. You can change this timeout duration with thread_keep_alive.

The default value is 512.

Panics

This will panic if val is not larger than 0.

Upgrading from 0.x

In old versions max_threads limited both blocking and worker threads, but the current max_blocking_threads does not include async worker threads in the count.

Sets name of threads spawned by the Runtime’s thread pool.

The default name is “tokio-runtime-worker”.

Examples

let rt = runtime::Builder::new_multi_thread()
    .thread_name("my-pool")
    .build();

Sets a function used to generate the name of threads spawned by the Runtime’s thread pool.

The default name fn is || "tokio-runtime-worker".into().

Examples
let rt = runtime::Builder::new_multi_thread()
    .thread_name_fn(|| {
       static ATOMIC_ID: AtomicUsize = AtomicUsize::new(0);
       let id = ATOMIC_ID.fetch_add(1, Ordering::SeqCst);
       format!("my-pool-{}", id)
    })
    .build();

Sets the stack size (in bytes) for worker threads.

The actual stack size may be greater than this value if the platform specifies minimal stack size.

The default stack size for spawned threads is 2 MiB, though this particular stack size is subject to change in the future.

Examples

let rt = runtime::Builder::new_multi_thread()
    .thread_stack_size(32 * 1024)
    .build();

Executes function f after each thread is started but before it starts doing work.

This is intended for bookkeeping and monitoring use cases.

Examples
let runtime = runtime::Builder::new_multi_thread()
    .on_thread_start(|| {
        println!("thread started");
    })
    .build();

Executes function f before each thread stops.

This is intended for bookkeeping and monitoring use cases.

Examples
let runtime = runtime::Builder::new_multi_thread()
    .on_thread_stop(|| {
        println!("thread stopping");
    })
    .build();

Executes function f just before a thread is parked (goes idle). f is called within the Tokio context, so functions like tokio::spawn can be called, and may result in this thread being unparked immediately.

This can be used to start work only when the executor is idle, or for bookkeeping and monitoring purposes.

Note: There can only be one park callback for a runtime; calling this function more than once replaces the last callback defined, rather than adding to it.

Examples
Multithreaded executor
let once = AtomicBool::new(true);
let barrier = Arc::new(Barrier::new(2));

let runtime = runtime::Builder::new_multi_thread()
    .worker_threads(1)
    .on_thread_park({
        let barrier = barrier.clone();
        move || {
            let barrier = barrier.clone();
            if once.swap(false, Ordering::Relaxed) {
                tokio::spawn(async move { barrier.wait().await; });
           }
        }
    })
    .build()
    .unwrap();

runtime.block_on(async {
   barrier.wait().await;
})
Current thread executor
let once = AtomicBool::new(true);
let barrier = Arc::new(Barrier::new(2));

let runtime = runtime::Builder::new_current_thread()
    .on_thread_park({
        let barrier = barrier.clone();
        move || {
            let barrier = barrier.clone();
            if once.swap(false, Ordering::Relaxed) {
                tokio::spawn(async move { barrier.wait().await; });
           }
        }
    })
    .build()
    .unwrap();

runtime.block_on(async {
   barrier.wait().await;
})

Executes function f just after a thread unparks (starts executing tasks).

This is intended for bookkeeping and monitoring use cases; note that work in this callback will increase latencies when the application has allowed one or more runtime threads to go idle.

Note: There can only be one unpark callback for a runtime; calling this function more than once replaces the last callback defined, rather than adding to it.

Examples
let runtime = runtime::Builder::new_multi_thread()
    .on_thread_unpark(|| {
        println!("thread unparking");
    })
    .build();

runtime.unwrap().block_on(async {
   tokio::task::yield_now().await;
   println!("Hello from Tokio!");
})

Creates the configured Runtime.

The returned Runtime instance is ready to spawn tasks.

Examples
use tokio::runtime::Builder;

let rt  = Builder::new_multi_thread().build().unwrap();

rt.block_on(async {
    println!("Hello from the Tokio runtime");
});

Sets a custom timeout for a thread in the blocking pool.

By default, the timeout for a thread is set to 10 seconds. This can be overridden using .thread_keep_alive().

Example
let rt = runtime::Builder::new_multi_thread()
    .thread_keep_alive(Duration::from_millis(100))
    .build();

Sets the number of scheduler ticks after which the scheduler will poll the global task queue.

A scheduler “tick” roughly corresponds to one poll invocation on a task.

By default the global queue interval is:

  • 31 for the current-thread scheduler.
  • 61 for the multithreaded scheduler.

Schedulers have a local queue of already-claimed tasks, and a global queue of incoming tasks. Setting the interval to a smaller value increases the fairness of the scheduler, at the cost of more synchronization overhead. That can be beneficial for prioritizing getting started on new work, especially if tasks frequently yield rather than complete or await on further I/O. Conversely, a higher value prioritizes existing work, and is a good choice when most tasks quickly complete polling.

Examples
let rt = runtime::Builder::new_multi_thread()
    .global_queue_interval(31)
    .build();

Sets the number of scheduler ticks after which the scheduler will poll for external events (timers, I/O, and so on).

A scheduler “tick” roughly corresponds to one poll invocation on a task.

By default, the event interval is 61 for all scheduler types.

Setting the event interval determines the effective “priority” of delivering these external events (which may wake up additional tasks), compared to executing tasks that are currently ready to run. A smaller value is useful when tasks frequently spend a long time in polling, or frequently yield, which can result in overly long delays picking up I/O events. Conversely, picking up new events requires extra synchronization and syscall overhead, so if tasks generally complete their polling quickly, a higher event interval will minimize that overhead while still keeping the scheduler responsive to events.

Examples
let rt = runtime::Builder::new_multi_thread()
    .event_interval(31)
    .build();
