It doesn't matter which worker does which job, so I was stuffing all the jobs into a fifo and letting chance decide who ends up with what. I agree with you all that switching to a deterministic approach is wise. I've rewritten my "write by one, read by many" example to respect ports and provide a manager that arbitrates requests (following along with Dav

Hello! My question is whether it is thread-safe to use multiple readers on a fifo. The "quick reference card" I found here indicates this is not allowed. However, I have a working code example with multiple readers that throws no errors and I haven't found any official documentation forbidding this. Here is my sample code that works. In a nutshell, all the consumers get a pointer directly to the fifo and no fifo port is used. #include <systemc.h> #include <iostream> class Consumer : public sc_module { public: sc_in<bool> clock_in; sc_fifo&
