Class ConcurrentThread

  java.lang.Thread
      com.dautelle.realtime.ConcurrentThread

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Runnable

public final class ConcurrentThread

extends java.lang.Thread

This class represents "worker" threads employed by ConcurrentContext to perform concurrent executions on multi-processors systems.

Instances of this class are created at start-up and maintained on-standby in order to execute quickly.

The default context for instances of this class is a PoolContext, unlike normal threads for which the default context is a HeapContext.

To avoid thread proliferation, the number of instance of this class is voluntarily limited (see JADE's Configuration for details). Using the default configuration, only systems with Hyper-Threading or multi-processors have instances of this class.
