/** |
12 |
* A synchronization aid that allows a set of threads to all wait for |
13 |
* each other to reach a common barrier point. CyclicBarriers are |
14 |
* useful in programs involving a fixed sized party of threads that |
15 |
* must occasionally wait for each other. The barrier is called |
16 |
* <em>cyclic</em> because it can be re-used after the waiting threads |
17 |
* are released. |
18 |
* |
19 |
* <p>A {@code CyclicBarrier} supports an optional {@link Runnable} command |
20 |
* that is run once per barrier point, after the last thread in the party |
21 |
* arrives, but before any threads are released. |
22 |
* This <em>barrier action</em> is useful |
23 |
* for updating shared-state before any of the parties continue. |
24 |
* |
25 |
* <p><b>Sample usage:</b> Here is an example of |
26 |
* using a barrier in a parallel decomposition design: |
27 |
* |
28 |
* <pre> {@code |
29 |
* class Solver { |
30 |
* final int N; |
31 |
* final float[][] data; |
32 |
* final CyclicBarrier barrier; |
33 |
* |
34 |
* class Worker implements Runnable { |
35 |
* int myRow; |
36 |
* Worker(int row) { myRow = row; } |
37 |
* public void run() { |
38 |
* while (!done()) { |
39 |
* processRow(myRow); |
40 |
* |
41 |
* try { |
42 |
* barrier.await(); |
43 |
* } catch (InterruptedException ex) { |
44 |
* return; |
45 |
* } catch (BrokenBarrierException ex) { |
46 |
* return; |
47 |
* } |
48 |
* } |
49 |
* } |
50 |
* } |
51 |
* |
52 |
* public Solver(float[][] matrix) { |
53 |
* data = matrix; |
54 |
* N = matrix.length; |
55 |
* barrier = new CyclicBarrier(N, |
56 |
* new Runnable() { |
57 |
* public void run() { |
58 |
* mergeRows(...); |
59 |
* } |
60 |
* }); |
61 |
* for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) |
62 |
* new Thread(new Worker(i)).start(); |
63 |
* |
64 |
* waitUntilDone(); |
65 |
* } |
66 |
* }}</pre> |
67 |
* |
68 |
* Here, each worker thread processes a row of the matrix then waits at the |
69 |
* barrier until all rows have been processed. When all rows are processed |
70 |
* the supplied {@link Runnable} barrier action is executed and merges the |
71 |
* rows. If the merger |
72 |
* determines that a solution has been found then {@code done()} will return |
73 |
* {@code true} and each worker will terminate. |
74 |
* |
75 |
* <p>If the barrier action does not rely on the parties being suspended when |
76 |
* it is executed, then any of the threads in the party could execute that |
77 |
* action when it is released. To facilitate this, each invocation of |
78 |
* {@link #await} returns the arrival index of that thread at the barrier. |
79 |
* You can then choose which thread should execute the barrier action, for |
80 |
* example: |
81 |
* <pre> {@code |
82 |
* if (barrier.await() == 0) { |
83 |
* // log the completion of this iteration |
84 |
* }}</pre> |
85 |
* |
86 |
* <p>The {@code CyclicBarrier} uses an all-or-none breakage model |
87 |
* for failed synchronization attempts: If a thread leaves a barrier |
88 |
* point prematurely because of interruption, failure, or timeout, all |
89 |
* other threads waiting at that barrier point will also leave |
90 |
* abnormally via {@link BrokenBarrierException} (or |
91 |
* {@link InterruptedException} if they too were interrupted at about |
92 |
* the same time). |
93 |
* |
94 |
* <p>Memory consistency effects: Actions in a thread prior to calling |
95 |
* {@code await()} |
96 |
* <a href="package-summary.html#MemoryVisibility"><i>happen-before</i></a> |
97 |
* actions that are part of the barrier action, which in turn |
98 |
* <i>happen-before</i> actions following a successful return from the |
99 |
* corresponding {@code await()} in other threads. |
