Concurrent Producer-Consumer with Guava Monitor

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() and monitor.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
