Few weeks ago I attended a workshop called “Understanding Mechanical Sympathy” ran by Martin Thompson. During that workshop we written and tested few concurrent programming techniques and as a first exercise we have written a simple Ping-Pong program: package uk.co.real_logic; import static java.lang.System.out; /* Original exercise did during "Lock Free Workshop" by Martin Thompson: http://www.real-logic.co.uk/training.html */ public final class PingPong { private static final int REPETITIONS = 100_000_000; private static volatile long pingValue = -1; private static volatile long pongValue = -1; public static void main(final String[] args) throws Exception { final Thread pongThread = new Thread(new PongRunner()); final Thread pingThread = new Thread(new PingRunner()); pongThread.
