Advanced concurrency control in Java
Pascal Felber & Michael K Reiter
| Résumé |
Developing concurrent applications is not a trivial task. As
programs grow larger and become more complex, advanced concurrency
control mechanisms are needed to ensure that application
consistency is not compromised. Managing mutual exclusion on a
per-object basis is not sufficient to guarantee isolation of sets
of semantically-related actions. In this paper, we consider 'atomic
blocks', a simple and lightweight concurrency control paradigm that
enables arbitrary blocks of code to access multiple shared objects
in isolation. We evaluate various strategies for implementing
atomic blocks in Java, in such a way that concurrency control is
transparent to the programmer, isolation is preserved, and
concurrency is maximized. We discuss these concurrency control
strategies and evaluate them in terms of complexity and
performance. Copyright (C) 2002 John Wiley Sons, Ltd. |
