Java并发包中有三个类用于同步一批线程的行为,分别是CountDownLatch、Semaphore和CyclicBarrier。
一、CountDownLatch
CountDownLatch是一个计数器闭锁,通过它可以完成类似于阻塞当前线程的功能,即:一个线程或多个线程一直等待,直到其他线程执行的操作完成。
CountDownLatch用一个给定的计数器来初始化,该计数器的操作是原子操作,即同时只能有一个线程去操作该计数器。调用该类await方法的线程会一直处于阻塞状态,直到其他线程调用countDown方法使当前计数器的值变为零,每次调用countDown计数器的值减1。当计数器值减至零时,所有因调用await()方法而处于等待状态的线程就会继续往下执行。
这种现象只会出现一次,因为计数器不能被重置,如果业务上需要一个可以重置计数次数的版本,可以考虑使用CycliBarrier。
在某些业务场景中,程序执行需要等待某个条件完成后才能继续执行后续的操作;典型的应用如并行计算,当某个处理的运算量很大时,可以将该运算任务拆分成多个子任务,等待所有的子任务都完成之后,父任务再拿到所有子任务的运算结果进行汇总。
例子1:
import lombok.extern.slf4j.Slf4j;
import java.util.concurrent.CountDownLatch;
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService;
import java.util.concurrent.Executors;
@Slf4j
public class CountDownLatchExample1 {
private final static int threadCount = 200;
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
ExecutorService exec = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();
final CountDownLatch countDownLatch = new CountDownLatch(threadCount);
for (int i = 0; i < threadCount; i++) {
final int threadNum = i;
exec.execute(() -> {
try {
test(threadNum);
} catch (Exception e) {
log.error("exception", e);
} finally {
countDownLatch.countDown();
}
});
}
countDownLatch.await();
log.info("finish");
exec.shutdown();
}
private static void test(int threadNum) throws Exception {
Thread.sleep(100);
log.info("{}", threadNum);
Thread.sleep(100);
}
}

例子2:
import java.util.concurrent.CountDownLatch;
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService;
import java.util.concurrent.Executors;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
@Slf4j
public class CountDownLatchExample2 {
private final static int threadCount = 200;
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
ExecutorService exec = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();
final CountDownLatch countDownLatch = new CountDownLatch(threadCount);
for (int i = 0; i < threadCount; i++) {
final int threadNum = i;
exec.execute(() -> {
try {
test(threadNum);
} catch (Exception e) {
log.error("exception", e);
} finally {
countDownLatch.countDown();
}
});
}
countDownLatch.await(10, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
log.info("finish");
exec.shutdown();
}
private static void test(int threadNum) throws Exception {
Thread.sleep(100);
log.info("{}", threadNum);
}
}
结果: 超过指定时间跳过等待

Semaphore
Semaphore与CountDownLatch相似,不同的地方在于Semaphore的值被获取到后是可以释放的,并不像CountDownLatch那样一直减到底。它也被更多地用来限制流量,类似阀门的功能。
如果限定某些资源最多有N个线程可以访问,那么超过N个主不允许再有线程来访问,同时当现有线程结束后,就会释放,然后允许新的线程进来。有点类似于锁的lock与unlock过程。相对来说他也有两个主要的方法:
- 用于获取权限的acquire(),其底层实现与CountDownLatch.countdown()类似;
- 用于释放权限的release(),其底层实现与acquire()是一个互逆的过程。
具体可参看:工藤新木:Java常用锁的使用
CyclicBarrier
CyclicBarrier也是一个同步辅助类,它允许一组线程相互等待,直到到达某个公共屏障点(common barrier point)。通过它可以完成多个线程之间相互等待,只有当每个线程都准备就绪后,才能各自继续往下执行后面的操作。
类似于CountDownLatch,它也是通过计数器来实现的。当某个线程调用await方法时,该线程进入等待状态,且计数器加1,当计数器的值达到设置的初始值时,所有因调用await进入等待状态的线程被唤醒,继续执行后续操作。
例子1:
@Slf4j
public class CyclicBarrierExample1 {
private static CyclicBarrier barrier = new CyclicBarrier(5);
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
ExecutorService executor = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
final int threadNum = i;
Thread.sleep(1000);
executor.execute(() -> {
try {
race(threadNum);
} catch (Exception e) {
log.error("exception", e);
}
});
}
executor.shutdown();
}
private static void race(int threadNum) throws Exception {
Thread.sleep(1000);
log.info("{} is ready", threadNum);
barrier.await();
log.info("{} continue", threadNum);
}
}
结果: ready ready .. go

因为CyclicBarrier在释放等待线程后可以重用,所以称为循环barrier。CyclicBarrier支持一个可选的Runnable,在计数器的值到达设定值后(但在释放所有线程之前),该Runnable运行一次。注:Runnable在每个屏障点只运行一个。
import lombok.extern.slf4j.Slf4j;
import java.util.concurrent.CyclicBarrier;
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService;
import java.util.concurrent.Executors;
@Slf4j
public class CyclicBarrierExample3 {
private static CyclicBarrier barrier = new CyclicBarrier(5, () -> {
log.info("callback is running");
});
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
ExecutorService executor = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
final int threadNum = i;
Thread.sleep(1000);
executor.execute(() -> {
try {
race(threadNum);
} catch (Exception e) {
log.error("exception", e);
}
});
}
executor.shutdown();
}
private static void race(int threadNum) throws Exception {
Thread.sleep(1000);
log.info("{} is ready", threadNum);
barrier.await();
log.info("{} continue", threadNum);
}
}

CountDownLatch与CyclicBarrier的区别
- CountDownLatch主要是实现了1个或N个线程需要等待其他线程完成某项操作之后才能继续往下执行操作,描述的是1个线程或N个线程等待其他线程的关系。
- CyclicBarrier主要是实现了多个线程之间相互等待,直到所有的线程都满足了条件之后各自才能继续执行后续的操作,描述的多个线程内部相互等待的关系。
- CountDownLatch是一次性的,而CyclicBarrier则可以被重置而重复使用。
