11 tim 1.10 * A synchronization aid that allows a set of threads to all wait for
12 brian 1.4 * each other to reach a common barrier point. CyclicBarriers are
13 dl 1.3 * useful in programs involving a fixed sized party of threads that
14 brian 1.4 * must occasionally wait for each other. The barrier is called
15 dl 1.3 * <em>cyclic</em> because it can be re-used after the waiting threads
16     * are released.
17 tim 1.1 *
18     * <p>A <tt>CyclicBarrier</tt> supports an optional {@link Runnable} command
19     * that is run once per barrier point, after the last thread in the party
20     * arrives, but before any threads are released.
21     * This <em>barrier action</em> is useful
22     * for updating shared-state before any of the parties continue.
23     *
24 brian 1.4 * <p><b>Sample usage:</b> Here is an example of
25 tim 1.1 * using a barrier in a parallel decomposition design:
26     * <pre>
27     * class Solver {
28     * final int N;
29     * final float[][] data;
30     * final CyclicBarrier barrier;
31     *
32     * class Worker implements Runnable {
33     * int myRow;
34     * Worker(int row) { myRow = row; }
35     * public void run() {
36     * while (!done()) {
37     * processRow(myRow);
38     *
39     * try {
40     * barrier.await();
41 tim 1.9 * } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
42     * return;
43     * } catch (BrokenBarrierException ex) {
44     * return;
45 tim 1.1 * }
46     * }
47     * }
48     * }
49     *
50     * public Solver(float[][] matrix) {
51     * data = matrix;
52     * N = matrix.length;
53     * barrier = new CyclicBarrier(N,
54     * new Runnable() {
55     * public void run() {
56     * mergeRows(...);
57     * }
58     * });
59     * for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i)
60     * new Thread(new Worker(i)).start();
61     *
62     * waitUntilDone();
63     * }
64     * }
65     * </pre>
66     * Here, each worker thread processes a row of the matrix then waits at the
67     * barrier until all rows have been processed. When all rows are processed
68     * the supplied {@link Runnable} barrier action is executed and merges the
69     * rows. If the merger
70     * determines that a solution has been found then <tt>done()</tt> will return
71     * <tt>true</tt> and each worker will terminate.
72     *
73     * <p>If the barrier action does not rely on the parties being suspended when
74     * it is executed, then any of the threads in the party could execute that
75     * action when it is released. To facilitate this, each invocation of
76     * {@link #await} returns the arrival index of that thread at the barrier.
77     * You can then choose which thread should execute the barrier action, for
78     * example:
79     * <pre> if (barrier.await() == 0) {
80     * // log the completion of this iteration
81     * }</pre>
82     *
83 dl 1.2 * <p>The <tt>CyclicBarrier</tt> uses an all-or-none breakage model
84     * for failed synchronization attempts: If a thread leaves a barrier
85     * point prematurely because of interruption or timeout, all others
86     * will also leave abnormally (via {@link BrokenBarrierException}),
87     * until the barrier is {@link #reset}. This is usually the simplest
88     * and best strategy for sharing knowledge about failures among
89     * cooperating threads in the most common usage contexts of barriers.
