Sequential Object Monitors

چکیده
Programming with Java monitors is recognized to be difficult, and potentially inefficient due to many useless context switches induced by the notifyAll primitive. This paper presents SOM, Sequential Object Monitors, as an alternative to programming with Java monitors. Reifying monitor method calls as requests, and providing full access to the pending request queue, gives rise to fully sequential monitors: the SOM programmer gets away from any code interleaving. Moreover, useless context switches are avoided. Finally, from a software engineering point of view, SOM promotes separation of concerns, by untangling the synchronization concern from the application logic. This paper illustrates SOM expressiveness with several classical concurrency problems, and high-level abstractions like guards and chords. Benchmarks of the implementation confirm the expected efficiency.

Unlike the frame type images, back-projection of ground points onto the 2D image space is not a straightforward process for the linear pushbroom imagery. In this type of images, best scanline search problem complicates image processing using Collinearity equation from computational point of view in order to achieve reliable exterior orientation parameters. In recent years, new best scanline sea...
متن کاملInductive Proof Outlines for Monitors in Java
The research concerning Java’s semantics and proof theory has mainly focussed on various aspects of sequential sub-languages. Java, however, integrates features of a class-based object-oriented language with the notion of multi-threading, where multiple threads can concurrently execute and exchange information via shared instance variables. Furthermore, each object can act as a monitor to assur...

Optimistic execution is a powerful technique that can enable an application to make more eecient use of resources that are distributed across a computer network. Such a mechanism may be used to provide automatic parallelization of a sequential object-oriented program, allowing it to be executed concurrently on a network of processors. Optimistic execution can be of particular beneet to distribu...

Java provides support for concurrent and parallel programming through threads, monitors and its socket and Remote Method Invocation (RMI) classes. However, there have been many concerns expressed about the way in which this support is provided, e.g., [1][2], citing problems such as improper implementation of monitors and difficulty of programming with threads. Hoare’s Communicating Sequential P...
