The [http://x10-lang.org/ X10 family of programming languages], including [https://wiki.rice.edu/confluence/display/HABANERO/Habanero+Extreme+Scale+Software+Research+Project Habanero] and our own modest [https://www.cse.wustl.edu/~cosgroved/courses/cse231/current/apidocs/edu/wustl/cse231s/v5/V5.html V5], provide a less cumbersome way to write parallel programs with [https://www.cse.wustl.edu/~cosgroved/courses/cse231/current/apidocs/edu/wustl/cse231s/v5/V5.html#async-edu.wustl.cse231s.v5.api.CheckedRunnable- async] and [https://www.cse.wustl.edu/~cosgroved/courses/cse231/current/apidocs/edu/wustl/cse231s/v5/V5.html#finish-edu.wustl.cse231s.v5.api.CheckedRunnable- finish].

Tracking all of the descendant tasks provides us with an opportunity to use a thread safe data structure ([https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/ConcurrentLinkedQueue.html ConcurrentLinkedQueue]) as well as deal with the [[#.28Optional_But_Recommended.29_Join_All_Warm_Up | complications of weakly consistent iterators]].

Habanero Java Library (HJlib) is the product of the [https://wiki.rice.edu/confluence/display/HABANERO/Habanero+Extreme+Scale+Software+Research+Project Habanero Extreme Scale Software Research Laboratory].  It builds on the [http://x10-lang.org/ X10 programming language].

HJlib provides some parallel features via static methods, most notably [https://www.cs.rice.edu/~vs3/hjlib/doc/edu/rice/hj/Module1.html#async-edu.rice.hj.api.HjSuspendable- async] and [https://www.cs.rice.edu/~vs3/hjlib/doc/edu/rice/hj/Module0.html#finish-edu.rice.hj.api.HjSuspendable- finish] which handle a lot of the details of starting and joining tasks.  We in CSE231 have [http://www.cse.wustl.edu/~cosgroved/courses/cse231/f17/apidocs/edu/wustl/cse231s/rice/habanero/Habanero.html thinly wrapped these methods] for stylistic reasons as well as to afford more easily testing student code.

==(Optional But Recommended) Join All Warm Up==

[https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/ConcurrentLinkedQueue.html ConcurrentLinkedQueue] is a thread safe data structure. Multiple threads can add and remove from it without fear. The order they will be in might not be deterministic, but it won't lose anybody. We will end up using a ConcurrentLinkedQueue to track all of the spawned Futures in the [[#XQuicksort]] section of this lab.

This means that if all of the items aren't in the queue when you start iterating through them, then you are not guaranteed to get updated when new items get added.

==Threads==

While we strive to make CSE 231 generally applicable across libraries and languages, it would be madness to have a parallel programming class in Java and not have students know how to create a Thread, start it, and join it.  In this section of the lab, you will do just that.

Make sure to use a thread safe data structure like [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/ConcurrentLinkedQueue.html ConcurrentLinkedQueue] and NOT an unsafe data structure like [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/LinkedList.html LinkedList].

The partitioning step can also be done in [http://www.classes.cec.wustl.edu/~cse341/web/handouts/lecture07.pdf parallel with scan].  While not particularly practical, it can get the CPL down to <math>\mathcal{O}(\lg^k{}n)</math>.

While perhaps a bit more complicated, and beyond the scope of this class, [http://www.classes.cec.wustl.edu/~cse341/web/handouts/lecture07.pdf the partitioning step can also be done in parallel with scan].
