Creating and managing multiple concurrent threads manually can be painstaking, but Java includes objects that make this much simpler. This course will help you gain experience using objects such as Java's ExecutorService and the Fork/Join framework that make it easy to write scalable multithreaded applications. You will get hands on with these objects and will recognize their use cases, features and their limitations.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  • Discover the key concepts covered in this course
    Create an executorservice instance to manage a pool of thread workers and submit tasks to it
    Use a countdownlatch to synchronize with the execution of threads submitted to an executorservice
    Describe how an executorservice instance can be shut down while still allowing submitted tasks to run
    Distinguish between the graceful and immediate shutdown of an executorservice instance
    Recognize the options available to monitor the execution of a task using a future object
  • Implement the callable interface to define a task that can run in a thread and returns a result
    Schedule one-off tasks to execute at a specified point in the future using the scheduledexecutorservice
    Schedule recurring tasks to execute at a set interval using the scheduledexecutorservice
    Use the fork/join framework to break up a large task into a number of smaller sub-tasks
    Submit a large task to forkjoinpool and recognize how these can be split into smaller sub-tasks
