什么是ForkJoin?
ForkJoin 从字面上看Fork是分岔的意思，Join是结合的意思，我们可以理解为将大任务拆分成小任务进行计算求解，最后将小任务的结果进行结合求出大任务的解，这些裂变出来的小任务，我们就可以交给不同的线程去进行计算，这也就是分布式计算的一种思想。这与大数据中的分布式离线计算MapReduce类似，对ForkJoin最经典的一个应用就是Java8中的Stream，我们知道Stream分为串行流和并行流，其中并行流parallelStream就是依赖于ForkJoin来实现并行处理的。
下面我们一起来看一下最为核心的ForkJoinTask和ForkJoinPool。
ForkJoinTask 任务
ForkJoinTask本身的依赖关系并不复杂，它与异步任务计算FutureTask一样均实现了Future接口，FutureTask我们在之前的文章中有讲到感兴趣的可以阅读一下——从源码看异步任务计算FutureTask。
下面我们就ForkJoinTask的核心源码来研究一下，该任务是如何通过分治法进行计算。
ForkJoinTask最核心的莫过于fork()和join()方法了。
-
fork()
-
判断当前线程是不是ForkJoinWorkerThread线程
-
是 直接将当前线程push到工作队列中
-
否 调用ForkJoinPool 的externalPush方法
在ForkJoinPool构建了一个静态的common对象，这里调用的就是common的externalPush()
-
-
-
join()
- 调用doJoin()方法，等待线程执行完成
public final ForkJoinTask<V> fork() {
Thread t;
if ((t = Thread.currentThread()) instanceof ForkJoinWorkerThread)
((ForkJoinWorkerThread)t).workQueue.push(this);
else
ForkJoinPool.common.externalPush(this);
return this;
}
public final V join() {
int s;
if ((s = doJoin() & DONE_MASK) != NORMAL)
reportException(s);
return getRawResult();
}
private int doJoin() {
int s; Thread t; ForkJoinWorkerThread wt; ForkJoinPool.WorkQueue w;
return (s = status) < 0 ? s :
((t = Thread.currentThread()) instanceof ForkJoinWorkerThread) ?
(w = (wt = (ForkJoinWorkerThread)t).workQueue).
tryUnpush(this) && (s = doExec()) < 0 ? s :
wt.pool.awaitJoin(w, this, 0L) :
externalAwaitDone();
}
// 获取结果的方法由子类实现
public abstract V getRawResult();
复制代码RecursiveTask 是ForkJoinTask的一个子类主要对获取结果的方法进行了实现，通过泛型约束结果。我们如果需要自己创建任务，仍需要实现RecursiveTask，并去编写最为核心的计算方法compute()。
public abstract class RecursiveTask<V> extends ForkJoinTask<V> {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 5232453952276485270L;
V result;
protected abstract V compute();
public final V getRawResult() {
return result;
}
protected final void setRawResult(V value) {
result = value;
}
protected final boolean exec() {
result = compute();
return true;
}
}
复制代码ForkJoinPool 线程池
ForkJoinTask 中许多功能都依赖于ForkJoinPool线程池，所以说ForkJoinTask运行离不开ForkJoinPool，ForkJoinPool与ThreadPoolExecutor有许多相似之处，他是专门用来执行ForkJoinTask任务的线程池，我之前也有文章对线程池技术进行了介绍，感兴趣的可以进行阅读——从源码分析线程池(池化技术)的实现原理。
ForkJoinPool与ThreadPoolExecutor的继承关系几乎是相同的，他们相当于兄弟关系。
工作窃取算法
ForkJoinPool中采取工作窃取算法，如果每次fork子任务如果都去创建新线程去处理的话，对系统资源的开销是巨大的，所以必须采取线程池。一般的线程池只有一个任务队列，但是对于ForkJoinPool来说，由于同一个任务Fork出的各个子任务是平行关系，为了提高效率，减少线程的竞争，需要将这些平行的任务放到不同的队列中，由于线程处理不同任务的速度不同，这样就可能存在某个线程先执行完了自己队列中的任务，这时为了提升效率，就可以让该线程去“窃取”其它任务队列中的任务，这就是所谓的“工作窃取算法”。
对于一般的队列来说，入队元素都是在队尾，出队元素在队首，要满足“工作窃取”的需求，任务队列应该支持从“队尾”出队元素，这样可以减少与其它工作线程的冲突（因为其它工作线程会从队首获取自己任务队列中的任务），这时就需要使用双端阻塞队列来解决。
构造方法
首先我们来看ForkJoinPool线程池的构造方法，他为我们提供了三种形式的构造，其中最为复杂的是四个入参的构造，下面我们看一下它四个入参都代表什么？
- int parallelism 可并行级别（不代表最多存在的线程数量）
- ForkJoinWorkerThreadFactory factory 线程创建工厂
- UncaughtExceptionHandler handler 异常捕获处理器
- boolean asyncMode 先进先出的工作模式 或者 后进先出的工作模式
public ForkJoinPool() {
this(Math.min(MAX_CAP, Runtime.getRuntime().availableProcessors()),
defaultForkJoinWorkerThreadFactory, null, false);
}
public ForkJoinPool(int parallelism) {
this(parallelism, defaultForkJoinWorkerThreadFactory, null, false);
}
public ForkJoinPool(int parallelism,
ForkJoinWorkerThreadFactory factory,
UncaughtExceptionHandler handler,
boolean asyncMode) {
this(checkParallelism(parallelism),
checkFactory(factory),
handler,
asyncMode ? FIFO_QUEUE : LIFO_QUEUE,
"ForkJoinPool-" + nextPoolId() + "-worker-");
checkPermission();
}
复制代码提交方法
下面我们看一下提交任务的方法
externalPush这个方法我们很眼熟，它正是在fork的时候如果当前线程不是ForkJoinWorkerThread，新提交任务也是会通过这个方法去执行任务。由此可见，fork就是新建一个子任务进行提交。
externalSubmit是最为核心的一个方法，它可以首次向池提交第一个任务，并执行二次初始化。它还可以检测外部线程的首次提交，并创建一个新的共享队列。
signalWork(ws, q)是发送工作信号，让工作队列进行运转。
public ForkJoinTask<?> submit(Runnable task) {
if (task == null)
throw new NullPointerException();
ForkJoinTask<?> job;
if (task instanceof ForkJoinTask<?>) // avoid re-wrap
job = (ForkJoinTask<?>) task;
else
job = new ForkJoinTask.AdaptedRunnableAction(task);
externalPush(job);
return job;
}
final void externalPush(ForkJoinTask<?> task) {
WorkQueue[] ws; WorkQueue q; int m;
int r = ThreadLocalRandom.getProbe();
int rs = runState;

(q = ws[m & r & SQMASK]) != null && r != 0 && rs > 0 &&
U.compareAndSwapInt(q, QLOCK, 0, 1)) {
ForkJoinTask<?>[] a; int am, n, s;
if ((a = q.array) != null &&
(am = a.length - 1) > (n = (s = q.top) - q.base)) {
int j = ((am & s) << ASHIFT) + ABASE;
U.putOrderedObject(a, j, task);
U.putOrderedInt(q, QTOP, s + 1);
U.putOrderedInt(q, QLOCK, 0);
if (n <= 1)
signalWork(ws, q);
return;
}
U.compareAndSwapInt(q, QLOCK, 1, 0);
}
externalSubmit(task);
}
private void externalSubmit(ForkJoinTask<?> task) {
int r; // initialize caller's probe
if ((r = ThreadLocalRandom.getProbe()) == 0) {
ThreadLocalRandom.localInit();
r = ThreadLocalRandom.getProbe();
}
for (;;) {
WorkQueue[] ws; WorkQueue q; int rs, m, k;
boolean move = false;
if ((rs = runState) < 0) {
tryTerminate(false, false); // help terminate
throw new RejectedExecutionException();

else if ((rs & STARTED) == 0 || // initialize

int ns = 0;
rs = lockRunState();
try {

U.compareAndSwapObject(this, STEALCOUNTER, null,
new AtomicLong());
// create workQueues array with size a power of two

} finally {

}
}
else if ((q = ws[k = r & m & SQMASK]) != null) {

if ((a != null && a.length > s + 1 - q.base) ||

U.putOrderedObject(a, j, task);
U.putOrderedInt(q, QTOP, s + 1);
submitted = true;
}
} finally {
U.compareAndSwapInt(q, QLOCK, 1, 0);
}
if (submitted) {
signalWork(ws, q);
return;
}

move = true; // move on failure

unlockRunState(rs, rs & ~RSLOCK);

move = true; // move if busy
if (move)

复制代码创建工人（线程）
提交任务后，通过signalWork(ws, q)方法，发送工作信号，当符合没有执行完毕，且没有出现异常的条件下，循环执行任务，根据控制变量尝试添加工人（线程），通过线程工厂，生成线程，并且启动线程，也控制着工人（线程）的下岗。

复制代码例：ForkJoinTask实现归并排序
这里我们就用经典的归并排序为例，构建一个我们自己的ForkJoinTask，按照归并排序的思路，重写其核心的compute()方法，通过ForkJoinPool.submit(task)提交任务，通过get()同步获取任务执行结果。
package com.zhj.interview;

for (int i = 0; i < 10000000; i++) {
bigArr[i] = (int) (Math.random() * 10000000);
}
ForkJoinPool forkJoinPool = new ForkJoinPool();
MyForkJoinTask task = new MyForkJoinTask(bigArr);
long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
forkJoinPool.submit(task).get();
long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
System.out.println("耗时：" + (end-start));
}
}
class MyForkJoinTask extends RecursiveTask<int[]> {

}
@Override
protected int[] compute() {

if (l < 2) {
return Arrays.copyOf(source, l);
}
if (l == 2) {
if (source[0] > source[1]) {
int[] tar = new int[2];

}
}

MyForkJoinTask task1 = new MyForkJoinTask(Arrays.copyOf(source, mid));
task1.fork();
MyForkJoinTask task2 = new MyForkJoinTask(Arrays.copyOfRange(source, mid, l));
task2.fork();

return tar;
}
return null;
}
// 合并数组
private int[] merge(int[] res1, int[] res2) {

} else {

}
}
return tar;
}
}
复制代码ForkJoin计算流程
通过ForkJoinPool提交任务，获取结果流程如下，拆分子任务不一定是二分的形式，可参照MapReduce的模式，也可以按照具体需求进行灵活的设计。
