This document provides an overview of threads in Java. It discusses creating threads by extending Thread or implementing Runnable, synchronization using the synchronized keyword and locks, and wait() and notify() to allow threads to wait for events. It provides examples of each concept and recommends using a thread pool rather than creating a new thread per task to prevent scaling issues. The document concludes with an exercise to implement multithreaded printing of numbers using a thread pool.
Threads are lightweight processes as the overhead of switching between threads is less
Synchronization allows only one thread to perform an operation on a object at a time.
Synchronization prevent data corruption
Thread Synchronization-The synchronized methods define critical sections.
You will learn the Deadlock Condition in Threads and Syncronization of Threads
Concurrent Programming in Java provides a brief overview of the following topics:
• Java language support for concurrency
• Concurrency utilities (java.util.concurrent package)
• Java collections for multithreading (java.util package)
• Parallel streams in Java 8.
Try out the examples. Source code here: https://github.com/CodeOpsTech/ConcurrentJava

At first glance, writing concurrent programs in Java seems like a straight-forward task. But the devil is in the detail. Fortunately, these details are strictly regulated by the Java memory model which, roughly speaking, decides what values a program can observe for a field at any given time. Without respecting the memory model, a Java program might behave erratic and yield bugs that only occure on some hardware platforms. This presentation summarizes the guarantees that are given by Java's memory model and teaches how to properly use volatile and final fields or synchronized code blocks. Instead of discussing the model in terms of memory model formalisms, this presentation builds on easy-to follow Java code examples.
Java has a solid Memory Model, and there are a couple of excellent libraries for concurrency. When you start working with threads however, pitfalls start appearing - especially if the program is supposed to be fast and correct. This session shows proven solutions for some typical problems, showing how to view program code from a concurrency perspective: Which threads share which data, and how? How to reduce the impact of locks? How to avoid them altogether - and when is that worth it?

Every Java developer knows that multithreading is the root of all evil and it is quite hard to write correct code for concurrent environment. But what tasks do exist in real commercial development except running code in asynchronous way?
In this talk I will present several tasks from my real projects and solutions we designed for them. This talk is very application oriented and allows participants to extend their vision of concurrent programming.

Core Java Programming Language (JSE) : Chapter XII - ThreadsWebStackAcademy
What are Java Threads?
A thread is a:
Facility to allow multiple activities within a single process
Referred as lightweight process
A thread is a series of executed statements
Each thread has its own program counter, stack and local variables
A thread is a nested sequence of method calls
Its shares memory, files and per-process state
How to create thread:
There are two ways to create a thread:
1. By extending Thread class
2. By implementing Runnable interface.
Thread class:
Thread class provide constructors and methods to create and perform operations on a thread.Thread class extends Object class and implements Runnable interface.
JAVA CERTIFICATION EXAM OBJECTIVES
COVERED IN THIS CHAPTER:
4.1 Write code to define, instantiate, and start new threads
using both java.lang.Thread and java.lang.Runnable.
4.2 Recognize the states in which a thread can exist, and
identify ways in which a thread can transition from one state
to another.
4.3 Given a scenario, write code that makes appropriate use
of object locking to protect static or instance variables from
concurrent access problems.
4.4 Given a scenario, write code that makes appropriate use of wait, notify, or notifyAll.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Lesson’s Objectives
By the end of this lesson you will:
• Be familiar with the Java threads syntax and API
• Be able to create Java multithreaded applications
4. 4
Threads Overview
– Threads allow the program to run tasks in parallel
– In many cases threads need to be synchronized,
that is, be kept not to handle the same data in
memory concurrently
– There are cases in which a thread needs to wait
for another thread before proceeding
Never use thread-per-session – this is a wrong and
un-scaled architecture – use instead Thread Pools
6. 6
Threads in Java
The operation we want to be threaded:
public class PrintNumbers {
static public void printNumbers() {
for(int i=0; i<1000; i++) {
System.out.println(
Thread.currentThread().getId() +
": " + i);
}
}
}
7. 7
Threads in Java
Option 1 – extending class Thread:
public class Thread1 extends Thread {
@Override
public void run() {
System.out.println("Thread1 ThreadId: " +
Thread.currentThread().getId());
// do our thing
PrintNumbers.printNumbers();
// the super doesn't anything,
// but just for the courtesy and good practice
super.run();
}
}
8. 8
Threads in Java
Option 1 – extending class Thread (cont’):
static public void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Main ThreadId: " +
Thread.currentThread().getId());
for(int i=0; i<3; i++) {
new Thread1().start(); // don't call run!
// (if you want a separate thread)
}
printNumbers();
}
9. 9
Threads in Java
Option 2 – implementing Runnable:
public class Thread2 implements Runnable {
@Override
public void run() {
System.out.println("Thread2 ThreadId: " +
Thread.currentThread().getId());
// do our thing
PrintNumbers.printNumbers();
}
}

new Thread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
System.out.println("Thread3 ThreadId: " +
Thread.currentThread().getId());
// do our thing
printNumbers();
}
}).start(); // don't call run! ...
printNumbers();
}

Synchronization
Synchronization of threads is needed for in order
to control threads coordination, mainly in order to
prevent simultaneous operations on data
For simple synchronization Java provides the
synchronized keyword
For more sophisticated locking mechanisms,
starting from Java 5, the package
java.concurrent.locks provides additional locking
options, see:
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/
locks/package-summary.html
14. 14
public class SynchronizedCounter {
private int c = 0;
public synchronized void increment() { c++; }
public synchronized void decrement() { c--; }
public synchronized int value() { return c; }
}
Synchronization
Example 1 – synchronizing methods:
The synchronized keyword on a method means
that if this is already locked anywhere
(on this method or elsewhere) by another thread,
we need to wait till this is unlocked before
entering the method
Reentrant
is
allowed
15. 15
public void addName(String name) {
synchronized(this) {
lastName = name;
nameCount++;
}
nameList.add(name);
}
Synchronization
Example 2 – synchronizing blocks:
When synchronizing a block, key for the locking
should be supplied (usually would be this)
The advantage of not synchronizing the entire
method is efficiency
16. 16
public class TwoCounters {
private long c1 = 0, c2 = 0;
private Object lock1 = new Object();
private Object lock2 = new Object();
public void inc1() {
synchronized(lock1) {
c1++;
}
}
public void inc2() {
synchronized(lock2) {
c2++;
}
}
}
Synchronization
Example 3 – synchronizing using different locks:
You must be
absolutely sure
that there is no tie
between c1 and c2
17. 17
public class Screen {
private static Screen theScreen;
private Screen(){…} // private c’tor
public static synchronized getScreen() {
if(theScreen == null) {
theScreen = new Screen();
}
return theScreen;
}
}
Synchronization
Example 4 – synchronizing static methods:
This is a
Singleton
example
It is not the most
efficient way to implement
Singleton in Java
18. 18
Synchronization
Example 4 – synchronizing static methods …
Having a static method be synchronized means that
ALL objects of this type are locked on the method
and can get in one thread at a time.
The lock is the Class object representing this class.
The performance penalty might be sometimes too
high – needs careful attention!
19. 19
public class Screen {
private static Screen theScreen = new Screen();
private Screen(){…} // private c’tor
public static getScreen() {
return theScreen;
}
}
Synchronization
Example 4’ – a better singleton:
No
synchronization
22. 22
wait(), notify(), notifyAll()
wait() and notify() allows a thread to
wait for an event
A call to notifyAll() allows all threads that are on
wait() with the same lock to be released
A call to notify() allows one arbitrary thread that is
on a wait() with the same lock to be released

(a) http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/
essential/concurrency/guardmeth.html
(b) http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/
java/lang/Object.html#wait()
Instead of
“busy wait” or
sleep loop!
23. 23
public class Drop {
// Message sent from producer to consumer
private String message;
// A flag, True if consumer should wait for
// producer to send message, False if producer
// should wait for consumer to retrieve message
private boolean empty = true;
...
wait(), notify(), notifyAll()
Example
(from http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/concurrency/example/Drop.java):
Flag must be used, never
count only on the notify
24. 24
public class Drop {
...
public synchronized String take() {
// Wait until message is available
while (empty) {
// we do nothing on InterruptedException
// since the while condition is checked anyhow
try { wait(); } catch (InterruptedException e) {}
}
// Toggle status and notify on the status change
empty = true;
notifyAll();
return message;
}
...
}
wait(), notify(), notifyAll()
Example (cont’) Must be in
synchronized context
25. 25
public class Drop {
...
public synchronized void put(String message) {
// Wait until message has been retrieved
while (!empty) {
// we do nothing on InterruptedException
// since the while condition is checked anyhow
try { wait(); } catch (InterruptedException e) {}
}
// Toggle status, store message and notify consumer
empty = false;
this.message = message;
notifyAll();
}
...
}
wait(), notify(), notifyAll()
Example (cont’) Must be in
synchronized context
