Method Details

idle

public void idle(int workCount)

Perform current idle action (e.g. nothing/yield/sleep). This method signature expects users to call into it on every work 'cycle'. The implementations may use the indication "workCount > 0" to reset internal backoff state. This method works well with 'work' APIs which follow the following rules:

• 'work' returns a value larger than 0 when some work has been done
• 'work' returns 0 when no work has been done
• 'work' may return error codes which are less than 0, but which amount to no work has been done

Callers are expected to follow this pattern:

 
 while (isRunning)
 {
     idleStrategy.idle(doWork());
 }
 
 

Specified by:

idle in interface IdleStrategy

Parameters:

workCount - performed in last duty cycle.

idle

public void idle()

Perform current idle action (e.g. nothing/yield/sleep). To be used in conjunction with IdleStrategy.reset() to clear internal state when idle period is over (or before it begins). Callers are expected to follow this pattern:

 
 while (isRunning)
 {
   if (!hasWork())
   {
     idleStrategy.reset();
     while (!hasWork())
     {
       if (!isRunning)
       {
         return;
       }
       idleStrategy.idle();
     }
   }
   doWork();
 }
 
 

Specified by:

idle in interface IdleStrategy

reset

public void reset()

Reset the internal state in preparation for entering an idle state again.

Specified by:

reset in interface IdleStrategy

alias

public String alias()

Simple name by which the strategy can be identified.

Specified by:

alias in interface IdleStrategy

Returns:

simple name by which the strategy can be identified.

toString

Overrides:
