This class may be applicable when many threads frequently * update a common sum that is used for purposes such as collecting * statistics.

On the other hand, if it is known that only one * thread can ever update the sum, performance may be significantly * slower than just updating a local variable. * *

The * table is indexed by per-thread hash codes that are initialized * to random values. * * The table doubles in size upon contention (as indicated by * failed CASes when performing add()), but is capped at the * nearest power of two >= #CPUS. This reflects the idea that, * when there are more threads than CPUs, then if each thread were * bound to a CPU, there would exist a perfect hash function * mapping threads to slots that eliminates collisions. When we * reach capacity, we search for this mapping by randomly varying * the hash codes of colliding threads. Because search is random, * and failures only become known via CAS failures, convergence * will be slow, and because threads are typically not bound to * CPUS forever, may not occur at all. However, despite these * limitations, observed contention is typically low in these * cases. * * Table entries are of class Adder; a form of AtomicLong padded * to reduce cache contention on most processors. Padding is * overkill for most Atomics because they are most often * irregularly scattered in memory and thus don't interfere much * with each other. But Atomic objects residing in arrays will * tend to be placed adjacent to each other, and so will most * often share cache lines without this precaution. Adders are * constructed upon first use, which further improves per-thread * locality and helps reduce (an already large) footprint. * * A single spinlock is used for resizing the table as well as * populating slots with new Adders. Upon lock contention, threads * try other slots rather than blocking. After initialization, at * least one slot exists, so retries will eventually find a * candidate Adder. During these retries, there is increased * contention and reduced locality, which is still better than * alternatives. */ /** * Number of processors, to place a cap on table growth. */ static final int NCPU = Runtime.getRuntime().availableProcessors(); /** * The table size set upon first use when default-constructed */ private static final int DEFAULT_ARRAY_SIZE = 8; /** * Padded version of AtomicLong */ static final class Adder extends AtomicLong { long p0, p1, p2, p3, p4, p5, p6, p7, p8, p9, pa, pb, pc, pd; Adder(long x) { super(x); } } /** * Holder for the thread-local hash code.
