Should you synchronize the run method? Why or why not?

Synchronizing the run() method of a Runnable is completely pointless unless you want to share the Runnable among multiple threads and you want to sequentialize the execution of those threads. Which is basically a contradiction in terms. There is in theory another much more complicated scenario in which you might want to synchronize the run() … Read more

What’s the best way to synchronize times to millisecond accuracy AND precision between machines?

Just run the standard NTP daemon. It does have options to take input from several GPS devices as well as talking to network servers. Edit: I was referring to http://www.ntp.org/, not the one that comes with Windows. I don’t have any suggestion as to what NTP clients are best for windows, but for Unix machines … Read more

Is synchronization within an HttpSession feasible?

I found this nice explanation in spring-mvc JavaDoc for WebUtils.getSessionMutex(): In many cases, the HttpSession reference itself is a safe mutex as well, since it will always be the same object reference for the same active logical session. However, this is not guaranteed across different servlet containers; the only 100% safe way is a session … Read more

What is the difference between a synchronized method and synchronized block in Java? [duplicate]

A synchronized method uses the method receiver as a lock (i.e. this for non static methods, and the enclosing class for static methods). Synchronized blocks uses the expression as a lock. So the following two methods are equivalent from locking prospective: synchronized void mymethod() { … } void mymethod() { synchronized (this) { … } … Read more

How to correctly use sync.Cond?

OP answered his own, but did not directly answer the original question, I am going to post how to correctly use sync.Cond. You do not really need sync.Cond if you have one goroutine for each write and read – a single sync.Mutex would suffice to communicate between them. sync.Cond could useful in situations where multiple … Read more
