Java - splitting work to multiple threads

Question

I am posed with the following problem: I need to split work across multiple threads for perfomance reasons, but I am not sure what approach to take.

Firstly, the tas

Answer 1

Slightly different approach is:

• create a LinkedBlockingQueue

• pass it to each task. Tasks can be Threads, or Runnables upon j.u.c.Executor.

• each task adds its result to the queue

• the main thread reads results using queue.take() in a loop

This way results are handled as soon as they are computed.
