Java-the running state of threads

Posted by susrisha on Sat, 22 Jun 2019 00:55:52 +0200

Thread Basic State Diagram:


The graph shows the basic state of the thread running: after the thread calls the start() method, it enters the runnable state, switching between runnable and runnable with CPU resource scheduling, and entering the blocking state when it encounters blockage.

1. New, create a new thread
2. Runnable, after calling the start method, the thread is ready to wait for CPU usage.
3. Running. The thread runs formally and executes the code in run.
4. Blocked. Blocked state can be divided into several situations: calling wait method; thread acquiring synchronous lock of object; calling sleep or join method; issuing IO request.
5. Dead, when the thread has finished executing, or exits the run method for other reasons, it ends its life cycle.

Synchronized Thread State Diagram

When a resource is accessed by a thread, it is locked, and other threads enter a Lock pool.

When the lock is released, other threads acquire the lock and become runnable.

Thread state diagrams that incorporate interaction between threads

After calling the wait() method, the thread releases the lock and enters the Wait pool; after receiving the notification, it waits for the lock to be acquired before it can run.

Thread blocking may be due to the following five reasons:

(<Thinking in Java>)

1. Call sleep (milliseconds) to put the thread into sleep. This thread will not run for a specified time.

2. Susnd () is used to suspend thread execution. Unless a resume() message is received, it will not return to a "runnable" state.

3. The thread execution is suspended with wait(). Threads do not become "runnable" unless they receive notify() or notifyAll() messages.

4. Threads are waiting for some IO operations to complete.

5. Threads try to call the "synchronization" method of another object, but that object is locked and temporarily unavailable.

Producer/consumer issues

The wait() / nofity() method is the two methods of the base class Object, which means that all Java classes will have these two methods, so that we can implement synchronization mechanism for any object.
wait() method: when the buffer is full / empty, the producer / consumer thread stops its execution, abandons the lock, makes itself in a wait state, and lets other threads execute.
notify() method: when the producer / consumer puts / withdraws a product to the buffer, it sends an executable notification to other waiting threads, and abandons the lock to keep itself in a waiting state.

1 wait method:
This method belongs to Object's method. The purpose of the wait method is to stop the execution of the thread calling the part of the wait method (code block), release the lock of the code block where the call wait is currently obtained, and restore to the competitive lock state when other threads call the notify or notifyAll method (once the lock is acquired, the execution is resumed).
There are several points to note when calling the wait method:
First point: when a wait is called, it must be in a block of code that has a lock (synchronized modifier).
Second point: After resuming execution, the execution starts from the next statement of wait, so the wait method should always be called in the while loop to avoid the situation that the condition of resuming execution after resuming execution is not satisfied but continues execution.
Third point: If there is time in the wait method parameter, then in addition to notify and notify All being invoked to activate the thread in wait state (waiting state) to enter lock contention, the thread will also be activated to contention state in other threads after interrupt or parameter time has arrived.
Fourth point: The thread whose wait method is called must retrieve the lock that was released when it was executed to wait before it can resume execution.

2 notify method and notify All method:
The notify method notifies the call to the wait method, but a thread that has not yet been activated enters the thread scheduling queue (i.e., entering lock contention), noting that it is not executed immediately. And which thread is not guaranteed. Another point is that the awakened thread must be waiting for the lock released by wait.

3 synchronized keywords:
First point: When synchronized is used to identify a common method, it means that to execute the method, a thread must acquire the lock of the object in which the method is located.
Second point: When synchronized is used to identify a static method, it means that to execute the method, a thread must obtain the class lock of the class in which the method is located.
Third point: synchronized modifies a block of code. Similar to this: synchronized (obj) {//code... }. Represents that a thread must acquire an obj lock to execute the block of code. The purpose of this is to reduce the granularity of locks and ensure that the whole object is not locked when the locks required by different blocks do not conflict. Using zero-length byte array objects to do obj is very economical.

Be careful:
The remove method in LinkedList:
1. remove(): The first item is removed
2. remove(int index): Remove the specified item
3. remove(Object o): Remove objects that exist

In addition, every element remove d from the List moves forward. (position changes).
