Advanced Multithreading Workshop

This project contains the workshop materials for the Advanced Programming multithreading session. It has been migrated from Gradle to Maven and structured for clear delivery.

Project Structure

• src/main/java/workshop/exercises/: Unsolved skeleton files with clear TODO markers. These are the templates to distribute to students and use during live coding.
• src/main/java/workshop/solutions/: Fully implemented reference solutions for grading and internal testing.

Exercises Covered

1. LockWorkshop: Resolving race conditions on a shared mutable counter using explicit ReentrantLock coordination.
2. SynchronizedWorkshop: Resolving race conditions on a shared mutable counter using intrinsic Java monitors (synchronized block).
3. DeadlockPreventionWorkshop: Resolving a classic thread circular wait condition by enforcing global lock ordering based on unique Resource IDs.
4. TaylorSeries: Implementing high-precision math with BigDecimal and calculating the Taylor series for \sin(x) using a thread pool (ExecutorService).

Requirements

• Java 17 or higher
• Apache Maven 3.6+

How to Build and Run

To compile the project:

mvn clean compile

To execute any of the workshop main classes (for example, the Lock Workshop solution):

mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="workshop.solutions.LockWorkshopSolution"
