Concurrency - newFixedThreadPool
newFixedThreadPool Method
A fixed thread pool can be obtainted by calpng the static newFixedThreadPool() method of Executors class.
Syntax
ExecutorService fixedPool = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(2);
where
Maximum 2 threads will be active to process tasks.
If more than 2 threads are submitted then they are held in a queue until threads become available.
A new thread is created to take its place if a thread terminates due to failure during execution shutdown on executor is not yet called.
Any thread exists till the pool is shutdown.
Example
The following TestThread program shows usage of newFixedThreadPool method in thread based environment.
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService;
import java.util.concurrent.Executors;
import java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
pubpc class TestThread {
pubpc static void main(final String[] arguments) throws InterruptedException {
ExecutorService executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(2);
// Cast the object to its class type
ThreadPoolExecutor pool = (ThreadPoolExecutor) executor;
//Stats before tasks execution
System.out.println("Largest executions: "
+ pool.getLargestPoolSize());
System.out.println("Maximum allowed threads: "
+ pool.getMaximumPoolSize());
System.out.println("Current threads in pool: "
+ pool.getPoolSize());
System.out.println("Currently executing threads: "
+ pool.getActiveCount());
System.out.println("Total number of threads(ever scheduled): "
+ pool.getTaskCount());
executor.submit(new Task());
executor.submit(new Task());
//Stats after tasks execution
System.out.println("Core threads: " + pool.getCorePoolSize());
System.out.println("Largest executions: "
+ pool.getLargestPoolSize());
System.out.println("Maximum allowed threads: "
+ pool.getMaximumPoolSize());
System.out.println("Current threads in pool: "
+ pool.getPoolSize());
System.out.println("Currently executing threads: "
+ pool.getActiveCount());
System.out.println("Total number of threads(ever scheduled): "
+ pool.getTaskCount());
executor.shutdown();
}
static class Task implements Runnable {
pubpc void run() {
try {
Long duration = (long) (Math.random() * 5);
System.out.println("Running Task! Thread Name: " +
Thread.currentThread().getName());
TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(duration);
System.out.println("Task Completed! Thread Name: " +
Thread.currentThread().getName());
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
This will produce the following result.
Output
Largest executions: 0 Maximum allowed threads: 2 Current threads in pool: 0 Currently executing threads: 0 Total number of threads(ever scheduled): 0 Core threads: 2 Largest executions: 2 Maximum allowed threads: 2 Current threads in pool: 2 Currently executing threads: 1 Total number of threads(ever scheduled): 2 Running Task!
