volatile array elements are not volatile

There is no way in Java for an arrays elements to be volatile. Tried using the concurrent AtomicReferenceArray for a matrix (array-of-arrays), but wasn't impressed with the resulting implementation. private volatile AtomicReferenceArray<AtomicReferenceArray<Foo>> foos; ... foos = new AtomicReferenceArray<AtomicReferenceArray<Foo>>(xSize); for (int x = 0; x < foos.length(); x++) { foos.set(x, new AtomicReferenceArray<Foo>(ySize)); } ... Foo foo = foos.get(x).get(y); ... foos.get(x).set(y, foo); A customized thread-safe encapsulation of the data matrix with indexing accessors and mutators is a cleaner implementation.

Linux-RT processor affinity cpusets

cset examples It is very easy to assign tasks to a particular processor or processor set!!! For proper permissions: sudo or su root or add yourself to the admin group or /etc/sudoers file. Use /bin/echo or just echo worked on my Ubuntu instance. Obviously you can omit the full paths and use relative paths below, commands are listed with full paths for clarity. mount the cpuset filesystem, add it to /etc/fstab to make it permanent and create a script called at startup to perform the subsequent initialization mkdir /dev/cpuset mount -t cpuset cpuset /dev/cpuset set the sched_load_balance flag to zero - at that point the scheduler is not moving tasks among processors anymore, you may immediate notice in the System Monitor variation in the processor load if they weren't balanced at the moment this command was executed cd /dev/cpuset echo 0 > sched_load_balance create a sub cpuset for each processor or set of processor if you have more than 2 mkdir /dev/cpuset/cpu

Object a = conn.getAttribute(oname, "SomeAttributeName"); Invoke MBean methods directly from proxy or as follows: ... String[] p

Multi-value arrays of arrays (matrices)

As an alternative to multi-valued arrays of arrays in Java, a Map or single array of arrays of custom objects can be utilized to get the same behavior. By using a Map you get sparse data storage improvement over arrays and maintain constant time access. If the data isn’t sparse, this mechanism would use more memory proportional to the number of elements. Iteration time is capacity proportional which is slightly inferior to an arrays constant time. Also, array copying requires a small amount of additional custom code to duplicate the Elements, i.e., a copy constructor. This approach is simpler than using multiple arrays since it minimizes the indexing to a single implementation vs. an indexing implementation for each array type. If it is necessary to return some particular values when no data exists, decorate or extend the Map or the Element class and provide the custom behavior. For Map base implementation utilize the “x” + “y” indices as the id for equals and key for hashCode. Create

Logging a stacktrace
