從JDK 1.5以後,在java.util.concurrent包下引入了好多的處理多線程的工具類,本文將介紹CountDownLatch工具類,並採用這個工具類給出一個實例。java
CountDownLatch是一個同步工具類,它容許一個或多個線程處於等待狀態直到在其它線程中運行的一組操做完成爲止。CountDownLatch用一個給定的計數來實現初始化。Await方法會一直處於阻塞狀態,直到countDown方法調用而使當前計數達到零。當計數爲零以後,全部處於等待的線程將被釋放,await的任何後續調用將當即返回。這種現象只出現一次,計數是不能被重置的。多線程
若是你須要一個能夠重置計數的版本,須要考慮使用CyclicBarrier。app
上面的介紹來自於CountDownLatch類的註釋。 less
/** * A synchronization aid that allows one or more threads to wait until * a set of operations being performed in other threads completes. * * <p>A {@code CountDownLatch} is initialized with a given [i]count[/i]. * The {@link #await await} methods block until the current count reaches * zero due to invocations of the {@link #countDown} method, after which * all waiting threads are released and any subsequent invocations of * {@link #await await} return immediately. This is a one-shot phenomenon * -- the count cannot be reset. If you need a version that resets the * count, consider using a {@link CyclicBarrier}. * */
CountDownLatch中定義了一個內部類Sync,該類繼承AbstractQueuedSynchronizer。從代碼中能夠看出,CountDownLatch的await,countDown以及getCount方法都調用了Sync的方法。異步

CountDownLatch的做用是控制一個計數器,每一個線程在運行完畢後執行countDown,表示本身運行結束,這對於多個子任務的計算特別有效,好比一個異步任務須要拆分紅10個子任務執行,主任務必須知道子任務是否完成,全部子任務完成後才能進行合併計算,從而保證了一個主任務邏輯的正確性。ide
(此段摘自於<<改善Java程序的151個建議>>, P254) 工具
CountDownLatch最重要的方法是countDown()和await(),前者主要是倒數一次,後者是等待倒數到0,若是沒有到達0,就只有阻塞等待了。 測試
使用CountDownLatch工具類來實現10個線程對1~100的求和,每一個線程對10個數進行求和。ui
由於須要用到每一個線程執行後的求和結果,因此,先編寫一個用於求和計算的類並實現Callable接口,this
如:
import java.util.concurrent.Callable; import java.util.concurrent.CountDownLatch; /** * * @author wangmengjun * */ public class Calculator implements Callable<Integer> { // 開始信號 private final CountDownLatch startSignal; // 結束信號 private final CountDownLatch doneSignal; private int groupNumber = 0; /** * @param startSignal * @param endSignal * @param groupId */ public Calculator(CountDownLatch startSignal, CountDownLatch doneSignal, int groupNumber) { this.startSignal = startSignal; this.doneSignal = doneSignal; this.groupNumber = groupNumber; } public Integer call() throws Exception { startSignal.await(); Integer result = sum(groupNumber); printCompleteInfor(groupNumber, result); doneSignal.countDown(); return result; } private Integer sum(int groupNumber) { if (groupNumber < 1) { throw new IllegalArgumentException(); } int sum = 0; int start = (groupNumber - 1) * 10 + 1; int end = groupNumber * 10; for (int i = start; i <= end; i++) { sum += i; } return sum; } private void printCompleteInfor(int groupNumber, int sum) { System.out.println(String.format( "Group %d is finished, the sum in this gropu is %d", groupNumber, sum)); } }
建立10個線程,而後對結果求和。
import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; import java.util.concurrent.CountDownLatch; import java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException; import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService; import java.util.concurrent.Executors; import java.util.concurrent.Future; public class CountDownLatchTest { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { /** * 1-100求和,分10個線程來計算,每一個線程對10個數求和。 */ int numOfGroups = 10; CountDownLatch startSignal = new CountDownLatch(1); CountDownLatch doneSignal = new CountDownLatch(numOfGroups); ExecutorService service = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(numOfGroups); List<Future<Integer>> futures = new ArrayList<Future<Integer>>(); submit(futures, numOfGroups, service, startSignal, doneSignal); /** * 開始,讓全部的求和計算線程運行 */ startSignal.countDown(); /** * 阻塞,知道全部計算線程完成計算 */ doneSignal.await(); shutdown(service); printResult(futures); } private static void submit(List<Future<Integer>> futures, int numOfGroups, ExecutorService service, CountDownLatch startSignal, CountDownLatch doneSignal) { for (int groupNumber = 1; groupNumber <= numOfGroups; groupNumber++) { futures.add(service.submit(new Calculator(startSignal, doneSignal, groupNumber))); } } private static int getResult(List<Future<Integer>> futures) throws InterruptedException, ExecutionException { int result = 0; for (Future<Integer> f : futures) { result += f.get(); } return result; } private static void printResult(List<Future<Integer>> futures) throws InterruptedException, ExecutionException { System.out.println("[1,100] Sum is :" + getResult(futures)); } private static void shutdown(ExecutorService service) { service.shutdown(); } }
某次運行的結果以下:
Group 7 is finished, the sum in this gropu is 655 Group 3 is finished, the sum in this gropu is 255 Group 8 is finished, the sum in this gropu is 755 Group 10 is finished, the sum in this gropu is 955 Group 6 is finished, the sum in this gropu is 555 Group 5 is finished, the sum in this gropu is 455 Group 4 is finished, the sum in this gropu is 355 Group 1 is finished, the sum in this gropu is 55 Group 9 is finished, the sum in this gropu is 855 Group 2 is finished, the sum in this gropu is 155 [1,100] Sum is :5050
本文首先對java.util.concurrent包下的CountDownLatch工具類進行了簡單的描述;接着,給出了CountDownLatch的做用;最後給出了一個使用CountDownLatch工具類完成10個線程求和的例子。
使用CountDownLatch時,它關注的一個線程或者多個線程須要在其它在一組線程完成操做以後,在去作一些事情。好比:服務的啓動等。
