Microsoft Word - project2.docx Page 1 Title: “Project 2: An Application Employing Synchronized/Cooperating Multiple Threads In Java Using Locks – A Banking Simulator” Points: 100 points Due Date: Sunday February 12, 2023 by 11:59 pm (WebCourses time) Objectives: To develop an application which requires cooperating, synchronized multiple threads of execution. Description: In this programming assignment you will simulate the deposits and withdrawals made to a fictitious bank account (I’ll let you use my real bank account if you promise to make only deposits! J). In this case the deposits and withdrawals will be made by user agents (synchronized threads). Synchronization is required for two reasons – (1) mutual exclusion (updates cannot be lost) and (2) because a withdrawal cannot occur if the amount of the withdrawal request is greater than the current balance in the account. This means that access to the account (the shared object) must be synchronized. This application requires cooperation and communication amongst the various agents (cooperating synchronized threads). (In other words, this problem is similar to the producer/consumer problem where there is more than one producer and more than one consumer process active simultaneously.) If a withdrawal agent attempts to withdraw an amount greater than the current balance in the account – then it must block itself and wait until a depositing agent has added money to the account before it can try again. As we covered in the lecture notes, this will require that the depositing agents signal all waiting withdrawing agents whenever a deposit is completed. 1. You should have five depositor agents (threads) and ten withdrawal agents (threads), and one auditor agent (thread) simultaneously executing. Use a FixedThreadPool() and an Executor object to control the threads. 2. To keep things relatively simple, as well as to see immediate results from a series of transactions (deposits and withdrawals), assume that deposits are made in amounts ranging from $1 to $500 (whole dollars only) and withdrawals are made in amounts ranging from $1 to $99 (again, whole dollars only). Since we have more withdrawal threads than depositor threads, the account balance should constantly decrease over time. This will lead to withdrawal agents repeatedly blocking for insufficient funds. Start the simulation with a balance of $0. CNT 4714 – Project – Spring 2023 Page 2 3. Once a depositor agent (thread) has deposited into the account, put it to sleep for few milliseconds (randomly generate this number – don’t use a constant sleep time) or so (depends a little bit on the speed of your system as to how long you will want to sleep the depositing threads - basically we want to ensure a lot more withdrawals than deposits) to allow other agents to execute. This is the only situation in which a deposit agent will block. 4. For withdrawal agents, things will be a bit different depending on whether you are working on a single or multi-core processor. a. For single core processors, once a withdrawal agent has withdrawn funds from the account, have it yield the processor unit. Since the agent is giving up the processor voluntarily, it will be unlikely to run again (attempt a second withdrawal in a row), before another agent runs. Note however, that it does not prevent it from running again, if all other withdrawal agents are blocked and all depositors are sleeping, it will run again. So occasional back-to-back runs of withdrawal agents might occur (see below). b. For multi-core processors, once a withdrawal agent has executed, have it sleep for some random period of time (again, a few milliseconds should be fine). Depending on which core a thread is executing, yielding the CPU won’t ensure that the same thread will not run again immediately. While, sleeping the thread will also not ensure that it will not run two or more times in succession, it is less likely to do so in the multi-core environment. c. What we don’t want to happen is a single withdrawal agent gaining the CPU and then executing a long sequence of withdrawal operations. Recall though, that withdrawal agents block if they attempt to withdraw more than the current balance in the account. d. Similarly, we don’t want depositor agents monopolizing the CPU either and causing the balance in the account to grow continuously. This would most likely occur when the withdrawal agents are sleeping too long in comparison to the average sleep time of the depositing agents. See page 9 for an illustration of this. 5. Assume all depositor and withdrawal agents have the same priority. Do not give different priority to depositor and withdrawal agents (threads). The auditor agent will also have normal priority and will simply run less frequently than the depositor and withdrawal threads (i.e., the auditor thread will sleep longer between runs than either depositors or withdrawals). See below. 6. The output from your program must look reasonably similar to the sample output shown below. The simulation output should show the action of each agent along Page 3 with the account balance produced by the agent’s transaction and the transaction number. 7. Do not put the threads into a counted loop for your simulation. In other words, the run() method for all threads should be an infinite loop. Just stop the simulation from your IDE after a few seconds. 8. Do not use the Java synchronized statement. I want you to handle the locking and signaling yourself. No monitors! 9. You must utilize a reentrant lock from the java.util.concurrent.locks package for implementing your locking protocols. We will specify no fairness policy for this application. Do not create your own lock using a Boolean or any other type of variable. 10. The Money Laundering Suppression Act, enacted by Congress in 1994, is a policy regulation that requires banking institutions to file currency transaction reports (CTRs) with the federal government (Department of the Treasury) for any deposits of $10,000 or more into a bank account. You are going to simulate this process by flagging any depositing transaction with a deposit value greater than $350.00 and any withdrawal amount greater than $75.00. You will flag the transaction in the normal output of the simulation as well as making an entry into a transaction log file which will keep track of all flagged transactions independently of the simulation. Each entry in the flagged transaction file will contain the transaction details, a timestamp, and the transaction number. See below for more details. 11. Every transaction made by a depositor or withdrawal agent will have a transaction number (an integer initialized to 1). This transaction number is printed out in the simulation run with each completed transaction. See output examples below. 12. The auditor agent (there is only 1 of these), simply verifies the current balance in the account at random intervals. The auditor agent does not make transactions on the account and does not affect the transaction number sequence. The auditor agent simply print the current account balance into the simulation run and keeps track of the number of transactions that have executed since the last auditor execution. Note that the auditor should run much less frequently than either depositor or withdrawal agents. Page 4 References: Notes: Lecture Notes for Multithreaded Applications. Restrictions: Your source files shall begin with comments containing the following information: /* Name: Course: CNT 4714 Spring 2023 Assignment title: Project 2 – Synchronized, Cooperating Threads Under Locking Due Date: February 12, 2023 */ Input Specification: Internal to the program. Output Specification: Console based. Your output should appear reasonably similar to the output shown below. Deliverables: (1) Zip up all of your .java files and submit them via WebCourses no later than 11:59pm Sunday February 12, 2023. (2) Include a sufficient number of screen shots that illustrate the execution of your synchronized threaded application (the simulation output). See below for some representative examples. You can either do a screen shot of the console window like I did below or redirect your output to a file and take a screen shot from an editor. Your screenshot should illustrate all the different types of output we expect to see. Include as many screen shots as necessary. Label all screenshots clearly. Most IDEs will allow you to redirect the console output to a file. A copy of this redirected output file would be the preferred technique for illustrating the execution of your simulation. As far as I am aware, NetBeans does not allow for console redirection, but most other IDEs do. (3) Include a copy of your transaction log file that matches the simulation output (see below for explanation). Additional Information: Shown below are some examples of the output from this program to help illustrate how your application is to operate and display the results. The last page illustrates execution runs that you do not want to produce. Page 5 Page 6 The transaction log file showing the first six flagged transactions in the execution run shown above. Page 7 All withdrawal threads are blocked. No withdrawal thread can run until a depositor thread runs. Withdrawal thread WT2 runs two times in a row. This is ok. It may happened from time to time. Page 8 1. Withdrawal agent WT6 is blocked (along with other withdrawal agents). 2. Deposit agent DT2 makes deposit and signals all waiting withdrawal agents. 3. Withdrawal agents WT6 and WT5 manage to make new withdrawals, but bleed the account balance down so that subsequent withdrawal agents once again find an insufficient balance and become blocked again. Page 9 We don’t want to see this sort of scenario where the depositors are monopolizing the account. Indication is the depositor threads aren’t sleeping long enough or the withdrawal threads are sleeping too long. Balance just continues to grow and no blocking ever occurs.
