另外运行两个线程的最佳方式?

FBB*_*FBB 8 java concurrency

更新:请参阅此问题的底部以获得完整答案.

我想运行一个辅助线程,以便我的主线程和我的辅助线程交替执行操作(不,我不想在主线程中执行所有操作,它用于单元测试).

我提出了两个不同的解决方案,我不知道哪个是最好的,我对第一个问题有疑问:

使用Exchanger

我使用ExchangeR做了一些事情(虽然我不想只交换一个对象).

@Test
public void launchMyTest() {
    /**
     * An anonymous class to set some variables from a different thread
     */
    class ThreadTest extends Thread {
        //declare some various attributes that will be set
        //NOT DECLARED VOLATILE
        ...

        public final Exchanger<Integer> exchanger = new Exchanger<Integer>();

        @Override
        public void run() {
            try {
                //start of the synchronization 
                int turn = 1;
                while (turn != 2) {
                    turn = this.exchanger.exchange(turn);
                }

                //do some work and set my various variables
                ...

                //main thread's turn
                turn = 1;
                this.exchanger.exchange(turn);
                //wait for this thread's turn
                while (turn != 2) {
                    turn = this.exchanger.exchange(turn);
                }

                //redo some other work and reset the various variables
                ...

                //main thread's turn
                turn = 1;
                this.exchanger.exchange(turn);

            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
            } 
        }
    }


    try {
        //some work in the main thread
        ....

        //launch the job in the second thread
        ThreadTest test = new ThreadTest();
        test.start();
        //start of the synchronization
        int turn = 2;
        test.exchanger.exchange(turn);
        //wait for this thread's turn
        while (turn != 1) {
            turn = test.exchanger.exchange(turn);
        }

        //run some tests using the various variables of the anonymous class
        ....

        //now, relaunch following operations in the second thread
        turn = 2;
        test.exchanger.exchange(turn);
        //wait for this thread's turn
        while (turn != 1) {
            turn = test.exchanger.exchange(turn);
        }

        //do some other tests using the various variables of the anonymous class
        //...

    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        Thread.currentThread().interrupt();

题:

  • 我是否正确该exchange方法执行内存同步,就像使用Lock

使用条件

用另一种解决方案条件:

@Test
public void launchMyTest() {
    /**
     * An anonymous class to set some variables from a different thread
     */
    class ThreadTest extends Thread {
        //declare some various attributes that will be set
        //NOT DECLARED VOLATILE
        ...

        public final Lock lock = new ReentrantLock();
        public final Condition oneAtATime = lock.newCondition();
        public int turn = 1;

        @Override
        public void run() {
            this.lock.lock();
            try {
                //do some work and set my various variables
                ...

                //main thread's turn
                this.turn = 1;
                this.oneAtATime.signal();

                //wait for this thread's turn
                while (this.turn != 2) {
                    this.oneAtATime.await();
                }

                //redo some other work and reset the various variables
                ...

                //main thread's turn
                this.turn = 1;
                this.oneAtATime.signal();

            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
            } finally {
                this.lock.unlock();
            }
        }
    }


    ThreadTest test = new ThreadTest();
    test.lock.lock();
    try {
        //some work in the main thread
        ....

        //launch the job in the second thread
        test.turn = 2;
        test.start();
        //wait for this thread's turn
        while (test.turn != 1) {
            test.oneAtATime.await();
        }

        //run some tests using the various variables of the anonymous class
        ....

        //now, relaunch following operations in the second thread
        test.turn = 2;
        test.oneAtATime.signal();
        //wait for this thread's turn
        while (test.turn != 1) {

在我看来有点复杂.

结论

您认为什么是最佳解决方案?我做得对吗,还是我错过了另一个明显的解决方案?

我没有使用a,CountDownLatch因为我想要交替运行多个操作,并且CountDownLatch无法重置.而且我没有发现CyclicBarrier使代码更简单...(实际上我并不完全理解如何使用它,但它看起来并不比使用Exchanger或简单Condition)

谢谢.

更新

@ClémentMATHIE提供了不同的如何实现这一点的例子,在其接受的答案的评论中,请参阅:https://gist.github.com/cykl/5131021

有三个例子,一个使用a CyclicBarrier,另一个使用a ,Exchanger最后一个使用2 Semaphores.虽然他说"更具表现力的是基于信号量的信号量"是正确的,但我选择使用Exchanger简单的方法.我的单元测试成了:

@Test
public void launchMyTest() {
    /**
     * An anonymous class to set some variables from a different thread
     */
    class ThreadTest extends Thread {
        //declare some various attributes that will be set
        //NOT DECLARED VOLATILE
        ...
        public final Exchanger<Integer> exchanger = new Exchanger<Integer>();

        @Override
        public void run() {
            try {
                //do some work and set my various variables
                ...

                //main thread's turn
                this.exchanger.exchange(null);
                //wait for this thread's turn
                this.exchanger.exchange(null);

                //redo some other work and reset the various variables
                ...

                //main thread's turn
                this.exchanger.exchange(null);

            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
            } 
        }
    }


    try {
        //some work in the main thread
        ....

        //launch the job in the second thread
        ThreadTest test = new ThreadTest();
        test.start();
        //wait for this thread's turn
        test.exchanger.exchange(null);

        //run some tests using the various variables of the anonymous class
        ....

        //now, relaunch following operations in the second thread
        test.exchanger.exchange(null);
        //wait for this thread's turn
        test.exchanger.exchange(null);

        //do some other tests using the various variables of the anonymous class
        //...

我是否正确地认为交换方法执行内存同步,就像使用锁一样?

你是对的。javadoc 指定存在先发生关系:

内存一致性影响:对于通过 Exchanger 成功交换对象的每对线程,每个线程中的 Exchange() 之前的操作发生在另一个线程中相应的 Exchange() 返回之后的操作之前。

您认为最好的解决方案是什么?

两者是等价的。你应该以表现力为目标。我发现基于同步/锁定/监控的解决方案比基于交换的解决方案更具表现力。但如果您在专用类中抽象此代码并不重要。

我做得对吗,还是我错过了另一个明显的解决方案?

AFAIK 不,如果您不想重新实现轮子。

请注意,您的基于 ReentrantLock 的解决方案也可以使用普通的旧同步或 Guava 的 Monitor 来编写。

请参阅: http: //docs.guava-libraries.googlecode.com/git-history/release/javadoc/com/google/common/util/concurrent/Monitor.html进行比较。

而且我并没有发现CyclicBarrier让代码变得更简单...(其实我并没有完全理解如何使用它,但它看起来并不比使用更简单

CyclicBarrier 不符合您的需求。它不是为相互排斥而设计的;它允许一组线程定义一个公共屏障。线程将同时执行并在进入下一步之前的某个时刻相互等待。

  • @tgkprog:你错了。JMM 和 Exchanger 文档明确指出,交换之前可见的*任何*内存操作在交换之后对其他线程都是可见的。 (2认同)
