Divide and Conquer algorithms are great subject for parallelism. Here we present Parallel Merge Sort implemented using Java ForkJoin Framework.
java.lang.InterruptedException
java.lang.InterruptedException is thrown when a Thread blocked in Object.wait(), Thread.join(), or Thread.sleep() is interrupted. Here we’ll look at these cases.
Java IllegalMonitorStateException
java.lang.IllegalMonitorStateException form Object’s notify/wait methods indicates basic synchronization issue. In this post we’ll show the reason and how to fix it!
Generate random numbers concurrently – ThreadLocalRandom
Until Java 7 there was no simple and effective way to generate random numbers concurrently. Here we show ThreadLocalRandom to generate random numbers in a thread-safe way.
Java ThreadLocal – thread data separation
One way to prevent concurrent modifications from different Threads is to given them their own local data. Java ThreadLocal allows to do thread data separation.
Java Fork Join example
In Java Fork Join Framework takes advantage of multiple processors to process divide and conquer algorithms with full power. In this post we’ll show how to start with Fork Join processing.
Java CyclicBarrier – game simulation
Java CyclicBarrier is very convenient synchronization tool for writing concurrent simulations. In this post we’ll show how it works and write a game simulation.
Java ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor Example
Problem:
How to use Java ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor to schedule tasks for one-time or repeated execution? In this post we’re going to show newer alternative to Timer/TimerTask pair.
Java Timer/TimerTask example
Problem:
How to use Java Timer and TimerTask to schedule tasks execution at specified time or in repeated manner? In this post we’re going to show cooperation of these two classes.
Java CountDownLatch example
Problem:
How to use Java CountDownLatch to synchronize one or more tasks? The CountDownLatch is one of the most useful and easy to use classes from java.util.concurrent package. Learn how to use it!
