The Producer-Consumer problem is a common issue to address when we have concurrent producer and consumer threads working with a bounded buffer. Solving this problem covers a variety of synchronization mechanisms in Java, and this course covers the implementation of synchronization blocks, locks, Condition objects, and Java's built-in data structures.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  • discover the key concepts covered in this course
    define a producer task that can run concurrently with a consumer using a shared queue
    develop a consumer task that works with a concurrent producer through a shared buffer
    recognize the behavior of producer and consumer threads when working with a shared bounded buffer
    use a ReentrantLock to access the shared queue for the Producer-Consumer problem
  • recognize the role of conditions in enabling different threads to wait on different conditions on the same object
    verify the validity of a solution to the Producer-Consumer problem with multiple producer and consumer threads
    implement a solution to the Producer-Consumer problem using Java's built-in ArrayBlockingQueue
    summarize the key concepts covered in this course
