Experiments with Java's ThreadPoolExecutor class.

Thread Pool Experiments

This project houses a number of Android applications which each demonstrate a particular aspect of the ThreadPoolExecutor class.

The applications in this project are as follows:

• app1 – An analysis of the corePoolSize, maximumPoolSize, keepAliveTime and workQueue parameters available in the ThreadPoolExecutor constructor.
• app2 – A performance comparison of using a single thread executor for executing tasks serially as opposed to the synchronized keyword.
• app3 – A performance comparison of using a fixed thread pool for executing tasks concurrently as opposed to an unbounded thread pool.
