Direct Known Subclasses:

FJWorker

public abstract class AbstractForkJoinWorker<T>
extends jsr166y.forkjoin.RecursiveTask<T>

Implements the ForkJoin worker contract. Subclasses need to implement the compute() to perform the actual Fork/Join algorithm leveraging the options provided by the AbstractForkJoinWorker class. The AbstractForJoinWorker class takes care of the child sub-processes.

Field Detail

children

private java.util.Collection<AbstractForkJoinWorker<T>> children

Stores the child workers

Constructor Detail

AbstractForkJoinWorker

protected AbstractForkJoinWorker()

Method Detail

compute

protected final T compute()

Specified by:

compute in class jsr166y.forkjoin.RecursiveTask<T>

computeTask

protected abstract T computeTask()

forkOffChild

protected final void forkOffChild(AbstractForkJoinWorker<T> child)

Forks a child task. Makes sure it has a means to indicate back completion. The worker is stored in the internal list of workers for evidence and easy result retrieval through getChildrenResults().

Parameters:

child - The child task

getChildrenResults

public final java.util.List<T> getChildrenResults()

Waits for and returns the results of the child tasks.

Returns:

A list of results returned from the child tasks
