thread-priority

exampl: new Thread(new Runnable() { public void run() { while(condition) { *code that must not be interrupted* *some more code* } } }).start(); SomeOtherThread.start(); YetAntherThread.start(); How can you ensure that code that must not be interrupted won't be interrupted? You can't - at least not with normal Java, running on a normal, non-real-time operating system. Even if other threads don't interrupt yours, other processes might well do so. Basically you won't be able to guarantee that you get a CPU all to yourself until you're done. If you want this sort of guarantee you should use

There are many places across the web and Stack Overflow where one is discouraged from changing the priority of a ThreadPool thread or TPL Task . In particular: "You have no control over the state and priority of a thread pool thread." "The runtime manages the thread pool. You have no control over the scheduling of the thread, nor can you change the thread's priority." "You should not change the Culture or Priority or... of a PoolThread. Just like you don't paint or re-decorate a rental car." "There are several scenarios in which it is appropriate to create and manage your own threads instead

Can anybody explain how thread priority works in java. The confusion here is if java does'nt guarantee the implementation of the Thread according to its priority then why is this setpriority() function used for. My code is as follows : public class ThreadSynchronization implements Runnable{ public synchronized void run() { System.out.println("Starting Implementation of Thread "+Thread.currentThread().getName()); for(int i=0;i<10;i++) { System.out.println("Thread "+Thread.currentThread().getName()+" value : "+i); } System.out.println("Ending Implementation of Thread "+Thread.currentThread()

What is the correct way in the post C++11 world for setting the priority of an instance of std::thread Is there a portable way of doing this that works at least in Windows and POSIX (Linux) environments? Or is it a matter of getting a handle and using whatever native calls are available for the particular OS? Mike Seymour There's no way to set thread priorities via the C++11 library. I don't think this is going to change in C++14, and my crystal ball is too hazy to comment on versions after that. In POSIX, pthread_setschedparam(thread.native_handle(), policy, {priority}); I don't know the

I have a program that runs in a few threads. The main thread shares an object with the other threads and in the main I have a call to: synchronized(obj){ do stuff } I have a suspicion that the main thread is starved and isn't getting access to obj . How do I raise the priority of the main thread or is it already higher than the other threads by default? Macarse You have a setPriority() method in the Thread class. Check this javadoc . Setting thread priority to maximum: public static void main(String args[]) { Thread.currentThread().setPriority(Thread.MAX_PRIORITY); // Your main code. } The
