Uses Of Synchronized Keyword In Java

Java / By

Concurrency problems are most common problems among multi-threaded applications. If one single thread is executing, it can gracefully get access to the resources and complete its execution. The problem arises when multiple threads competing with each other to get hold of resources. Due to this variety of problems can occur like inconsistent data, dead lock situations etc. Java mitigates these problems by synchronizing resource access so that single thread get to access resources and releases the resource for the next thread to process. This process is known as “synchronization” and we achieve synchronization using keyword “synchronized”. The “synchronized” keyword can

Implementing Threads in Java

Java / By

Before we get into thread implementation in Java, let us spend some time and understand the idea and concepts behind threads and concurrent programming. What is Concurrency Applications are expected to do more than one task at the same time in parallel. Applications which do more than one tasks at a time are called concurrent applications. An example of such concurrent software application is streaming audio application. It must read the digital audio from the network, decompress, manage playback and update the audio simultaneously. Process and Thread There are two basic units in the concurrent programming namely Process and Thread.
