JFokus Java 9 contended locking performance
4 likes1,348 views
The document discusses Java Development Kit (JDK) 9 enhancements, focusing on JEP 143, which improves the performance of contended locks compared to JDK 8. It outlines two performance approaches—top-down and bottom-up—along with benchmarking strategies to measure the impact of these improvements. The presentation concludes with observations and metrics demonstrating the enhanced performance in JDK 9.

- 13. Uncontended Locks ©2017 CodeKaram12 A single thread ‘t’ is executing a synchronized method
- 14. Contended Locks ©2017 CodeKaram13 A different thread ‘u’ wants to enter the synchronized method that is already locked by thread ‘t’
- 15. Contended Locks ©2017 CodeKaram14 This is a heavy weight lock also known as inflated lock Object Monitor maintains “WaitSet” for threads waiting for the contended lock
- 17. Wait Set ©2017 CodeKaram16 • A set of threads • At creation – empty set of threads • Can be manipulated only by: • Object.wait, Object.notify, Object.notifyAll
