Description

Interface Summary

IncrementalTask<I,R>

A thunk that performs incremental computation.

Class Summary

CompletionMonitor	Provides a convenient facility for blocking until a boolean flag is signaled.
CompletionMonitorTest
ConcurrentBox<T>	A thread-safe box implementation.
ConcurrentUtil	Utility methods for executing code in concurrent threads or processes.
ConcurrentUtilTest
ConditionMonitor	Provides a convenient facility for blocking until an arbitrary condition is satisfied.
ConditionMonitorTest
DelayedInterrupter	Sets a "time bomb" on a specific thread: if the DelayedInterrupter.abort() method is not invoked within a specified amount of time (in milliseconds), the thread will be interrupted.
ExecutorIncrementalTaskController<I,R>	A TaskController for an IncrementalTask, which is scheduled for execution by an Executor.
ExecutorTaskController<R>	A TaskController for a simple task, which is scheduled for execution by an Executor.
FutureTaskController<T>	Treats an arbitrary Future-producing computation as a TaskController.
IncrementalTaskController<I,R>	Provides access to a concurrent task that produces incremental results.
JVMBuilder	Creates Java subprocesses via an interface similar to that of ProcessBuilder.
JVMBuilderTest
LockMap<T>	A map for associating arbitrary objects with locks for the lifetime of the objects.
PollingTaskController<R>	A TaskController for tasks that are run without any facility for executing code when the task is complete — instead, the controller must either block, poll for the task's current status.
ProcessIncrementalTaskController<I,R>	A TaskController that executes an IncrementalTask in another Java process.
ProcessTaskController<R>	A TaskController that executes a simple task in another Java process.
ReaderWriterLock	This class implements synchronization primitives to solve the classic readers/writers problem without allowing deadlock or starvation.
StateMonitor<T>	Provides a convenient facility for blocking until a state change explicitly occurs.
StateMonitorTest
TaskController<R>	Provides access to a concurrent task that produces a value.
