Introduction
In this project, you will learn how to implement thread communication using Google Guava's Monitor
class. The project demonstrates a classic producer-consumer problem, where multiple producer threads add data to a shared buffer, and multiple consumer threads consume data from the buffer.
🎯 Tasks
In this project, you will learn:
- How to implement the producer and consumer logic using Google Guava's
Monitor
class - How to acquire and release locks using the
monitor.enterWhen()
andmonitor.leave()
methods - How to create custom
Guard
objects to control the conditions for acquiring the lock - How to use a thread pool to manage the producer and consumer threads
- How to test the producer-consumer program and observe the output
🏆 Achievements
After completing this project, you will be able to:
- Use Google Guava's
Monitor
class for thread communication - Implement the producer-consumer problem in a concurrent environment
- Manage shared resources and avoid race conditions
- Work with thread pools and apply concurrent programming concepts in practical scenarios
