Mastering Multithreading in Java: Basics to Advanced Level
This Lecture will cover all the concepts to understand multi-threading from beginner to advance level. This is the Multi-Threading Lecture part-1.
CPU and Cores: A CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the brain of a computer, responsible for executing instructions. Cores are individual processing units within a CPU. Multi-core CPUs can execute multiple instructions simultaneously.
Processes and Threads: A process is a running instance of a program. Multi-processing involves executing multiple processes concurrently. A thread is a lightweight process that shares the same address space as its parent process. Multi-threading allows a process to have multiple threads executing concurrently.
Creating Multithreading in Java: You can create multithreading in Java by extending the Thread class or implementing the Runnable interface. Both methods involve defining a run() method that contains the code to be executed by the thread.
Thread Life Cycle: A thread's life cycle includes states such as New, Runnable, Running, Blocked, and Terminated. The thread's state determines its current activity.
Synchronization: Synchronization is essential for coordinating access to shared resources between multiple threads. It prevents race conditions and ensures threads execute in a predictable manner.
Producer-Consumer Problem: This classic concurrency problem involves one thread (producer) producing data and another thread (consumer) consuming it. Synchronization is crucial to prevent data overflow or underflow
