The main thread has the ability to create additional threads as Runnable or Callable objects. The Callable interface is similar to Runnable in that both are designed for classes whose instances are potentially executed by another thread. [3] A Runnable, however, does not return a result and cannot throw a checked exception. [4]
The submitted code must be wrapped with a Runnable object. Two methods of these classes allow: synchronous code execution (SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(Runnable) or EventQueue.invokeAndWait(Runnable)) and asynchronous code execution (SwingUtilities.invokeLater(Runnable) or EventQueue.invokeLater(Runnable)) from the event dispatching thread.
Java—thread class or Runnable interface; Julia—"concurrent programming primitives: Tasks, async-wait, Channels." [15] JavaScript—via web workers, in a browser environment, promises, and callbacks. JoCaml—concurrent and distributed channel based, extension of OCaml, implements the join-calculus of processes
The items in the queue are command objects. Typically these objects implement a common interface such as java.lang.Runnable that allows the thread pool to execute the command even though the thread pool class itself was written without any knowledge of the specific tasks for which it would be used. Transactional behavior
Deciding the optimal thread pool size is crucial to optimize performance. One benefit of a thread pool over creating a new thread for each task is that thread creation and destruction overhead is restricted to the initial creation of the pool, which may result in better performance and better system stability. Creating and destroying a thread ...
The goal is to introduce concurrency, by using asynchronous method invocation and a scheduler for handling requests. [2] The pattern consists of six elements: [3] A proxy, which provides an interface towards clients with publicly accessible methods. An interface which defines the method request on an active object. A list of pending requests ...
enter the monitor: enter the method if the monitor is locked add this thread to e block this thread else lock the monitor leave the monitor: schedule return from the method wait c: add this thread to c.q schedule block this thread notify c: if there is a thread waiting on c.q select and remove one thread t from c.q (t is called "the notified ...
A chat room could use the mediator pattern, or a system where many ‘clients’ each receive a message each time one of the other clients performs an action (for chat rooms, this would be when each person sends a message). In reality using the mediator pattern for a chat room would only be practical when used with remoting.
