They assume that they can continue to work in a word processor, while other applications download files, manage the print queue, and stream audio.
Even a single application is often expected to do more than one thing at a time. For example, that streaming audio application must simultaneously read the digital audio off the network, decompress it, manage playback, and update its display.
Even the word processor should always be ready to respond to keyboard and mouse events, no matter how busy it is reformatting text or updating the display.
For example if thread A waits for a lock on object Z which thread B holds and thread B waits for a lock on object Y which is hold by process A, then these two processes are locked and cannot continue in their processing. This can be compared to a traffic jam, where cars threads require the access to a certain street resource , which is currently blocked by another car lock.

Java concurrency multi-threading. This article describes how to do concurrent programming with Java. It covers the concepts of parallel programming, immutability, threads, the executor framework thread pools , futures, callables CompletableFuture and the fork-join framework.
Concurrency 1. What is concurrency? Process vs. Improvements and issues with concurrency 2. Limits of concurrency gains Within a Java application you work with several threads to achieve parallel processing or asynchronous behavior. Concurrency issues Threads have their own call stack, but can also access shared data. Safety failure: The program creates incorrect data.
Concurrency in Java 3. Processes and Threads A Java program runs in its own process and by default in one thread. Locks and thread synchronization Java provides locks to protect certain parts of the code to be executed by several threads at the same time. ArrayList ; import java. Volatile If a variable is declared with the volatile keyword then it is guaranteed that any thread that reads the field will see the most recently written value.
The Java memory model 4. Overview The Java memory model describes the communication between the memory of the threads and the main memory of the application. It defines the rules how changes in the memory done by threads are propagated to other threads.
It also describes which operations are atomic and the ordering of the operations. Atomic operation An atomic operation is an operation which is performed as a single unit of work without the possibility of interference from other operations.
Memory updates in synchronized code The Java memory model guarantees that each thread entering a synchronized block of code sees the effects of all previous modifications that were guarded by the same lock. Immutability and defensive Copies 5. Immutability The simplest way to avoid problems with concurrency is to share only immutable data between threads. To make a class immutable define the class and all its fields as final.
Also ensure that no reference to fields escape during construction. Therefore any field must:. Defensive Copies You must protect your classes from calling code.
Collections ; import java. Threads in Java The base means for concurrency is the java. Using the Thread class directly has the following disadvantages:. Creating a new thread causes some performance overhead. This package is described in the next section. Threads pools with the Executor Framework You find this examples in the source section in Java project called de.
If you want to use one thread pool with one thread which executes several runnables you can use the Executors. ExecutorService ; import java. CompletableFuture Any time consuming task should be preferable done asynchronously.
The following example demonstrates how to create a basic CompletableFuture. CompletableFuture ; import java. You can also start a CompletableFuture delayed as of Java 9. Nonblocking algorithms Java 5. HashSet ; import java. List ; import java. Set ; import java. Callable ; import java. ExecutionException ; import java. Executors ; import java. Fork-Join in Java 7 Java 7 introduced a new parallel mechanism for compute intensive tasks, the fork-join framework.
Create first an algorithm package and then the following class. Define now the Solver class as shown in the following example coding. The API defines other top classes, e.
Therefore it is important as a developer to know how to take the right precautions - meaning learning to control how threads access shared resources like memory, files, databases etc. That is one of the topics this Java concurrency tutorial addresses.
Java was one of the first languages to make multithreading easily available to developers. Java had multithreading capabilities from the very beginning. Therefore, Java developers often face the problems described above. That is the reason I am writing this trail on Java concurrency. As notes to myself, and any fellow Java developer whom may benefit from it.
The trail will primarily be concerned with multithreading in Java, but some of the problems occurring in multithreading are similar to problems occurring in multitasking and in distributed systems.
References to multitasking and distributed systems may therefore occur in this trail too. Hence the word "concurrency" rather than "multithreading". The first Java concurrency model assumed that multiple threads executing within the same application would also share objects.
This type of concurrency model is typically referred to as a "shared state concurrency model". A lot of the concurrency language constructs and utilities are designed to support this concurrency model. However, a lot has happened in the world of concurrent architecture and design since the first Java concurrency books were written, and even since the Java 5 concurrency utilities were released.
The shared state concurrency model causes a lot of concurrency problems which can be hard to solve elegantly. Therefore, an alternative concurrency model referred to as "shared nothing" or "separate state" has gained popularity.
In the separate state concurrency model the threads do not share any objects or data. This avoids a lot of the concurrent access problems of the shared state concurrency model. New, asynchronous "separate state" platforms and toolkits like Netty, Vert. New non-blocking concurrency algorithms have been published, and new non-blocking tools like the LMax Disrupter have been added to our toolkits.
New functional programming parallelism has been introduced with the Fork and Join framework in Java 7, and the collection streams API in Java 8. With all these new developments it is about time that I updated this Java Concurrency tutorial. Therefore, this tutorial is once again work in progress. New tutorials will be published whenever time is available to write them.
If you are new to Java concurrency, I would recommend that you follow the study plan below. You can find links to all the topics in the menu in the left side of this page too.
Tutorials About RSS. Java Concurrency. Why Multithreading? Java Concurrency Tutorial Videos If you prefer video, I have a playlist of videos covering some of the same topics that this tutorial series covers. Some of the most common reasons for multithreading are: Better utilization of a single CPU. Better user experience with regards to responsiveness. Better user experience with regards to fairness. I will explain each of these reasons in more detail in the following sections.
