Java Thread Factory Project

Overview

This Java project demonstrates a custom thread pool implementation using a thread factory pattern. It includes a main class (Example) that utilizes a ThreadFactory to manage multiple threads efficiently. The project showcases how to execute a list of tasks in parallel using a fixed number of threads, ensuring optimal use of system resources.

Files

• Example.java: Contains the main method demonstrating the usage of the ThreadFactory to execute tasks in parallel.
• ThreadFactory.java: Implements the thread factory which initializes a specified number of worker threads and distributes tasks among them.
• WorkerThread.java: Defines the worker threads that execute the tasks provided by the thread factory.

Features

• Initialization of a customizable number of threads for task execution.
• Execution of tasks in parallel with a simple interface.
• Safe shutdown of threads ensuring all tasks are completed before termination.

How It Works

• Initialization: The ThreadFactory is initialized with a specified number of threads. Each thread starts and waits for tasks to execute.
• Task Execution: Tasks are distributed among the worker threads in a round-robin fashion to ensure even workload distribution.
• Shutdown: The factory waits for all tasks to complete before safely shutting down the threads.

Customization

You can customize the number of threads by modifying the argument passed to the ThreadFactory constructor in Example.java.
