Importance of Thread.onSpinWait() method in Java 9?
Thread.onSpinWait() method has been introduced in Java 9. It is a static method of Thread class and can be optionally called in busy-waiting loops. It allows the JVM to issue processor instructions on some system architectures to improve reaction time in such spin-wait loops, and also reduce the power consumed by the core thread. It can benefit the overall power consumption of a java program and allows other core threads to execute at faster speeds within the same power consumption envelope.
Syntax
public static void onSpinWait()
Example
public class ThreadOnSpinWaitTest {
public static void main(final String args[]) throws InterruptedException {
final NormalTask task1 = new NormalTask();
final SpinWaitTask task2 = new SpinWaitTask();
final Thread thread1 = new Thread(task1);
thread1.start();
final Thread thread2 = new Thread(task2);
thread2.start();
new Thread(() -> {
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch(final InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
task1.start();
task2.sta*rt();
}
}).start();
thread1.join();
thread2.join();
}
private abstract static class Task implements Runnable {
volatile boolean canStart;
void start() {
this.canStart = true;
}
}
private static class NormalTask extends Task {
@Override
public void run() {
while(!this.canStart) {
}
System.out.println("Done!");
}
}
private static class SpinWaitTask extends Task {
@Override
public void run() {
while(!this.canStart) {
Thread.onSpinWait();
}
System.out.println("Done!");
}
}
}Output
Done! Done!
