This repository is original and follows the student terms.
The Concurrent Accumulation Task required me to start numerous threads, which
concurrently increments an integer within an endless loop,
by the iterations index. Whereas the integer exists on the threads stack and is therefor
not shared across memory while the thread operates upon it. I used some synchronizers of the
Java Concurrency Library to coordinate the threads and transfer their accumulation result to the "main" thread.
Because of the extensive use of synchronizers, which mostly requires to know
the number of worker threads that are currently running, the application requires all threads
to run in one go. Thread pooling may be used and can be enabled by adding the THREAD_POOL argument.
By default a new thread is allocated when the accumulation begins, and it terminatess after the
result has been transferred to the "main" thread.
To run the Solution you just need to build the project by using gradle:
gradle jar
and then you can run the generated jar file:
java -jar accumulation-1.0.jar 3 10
Executing the above command will give following output:
Arguments are not required nor do they have to be correct. If no or invalid arguments are given, the default configuration is used.
If you come across any issues while reading, building or executing the code, just let me know by kindly creating an issue.
