implements

java.lang.Object | ||
↳ | java.lang.Number | |
↳ | java.util.concurrent.atomic.LongAdder |
One or more variables that together maintain an initially zero
long
sum. When updates (method add(long)
) are contended
across threads, the set of variables may grow dynamically to reduce
contention. Method sum()
(or, equivalently, longValue()
) returns the current total combined across the
variables maintaining the sum.
This class is usually preferable to AtomicLong
when
multiple threads update a common sum that is used for purposes such
as collecting statistics, not for fine-grained synchronization
control. Under low update contention, the two classes have similar
characteristics. But under high contention, expected throughput of
this class is significantly higher, at the expense of higher space
consumption.
LongAdders can be used with a ConcurrentHashMap
to maintain a scalable
frequency map (a form of histogram or multiset). For example, to
add a count to a ConcurrentHashMap<String,LongAdder> freqs
,
initializing if not already present, you can use freqs.computeIfAbsent(key, k -> new LongAdder()).increment();
This class extends Number
, but does not define
methods such as equals
, hashCode
and compareTo
because instances are expected to be mutated, and so are
not useful as collection keys.

int intValue ()
Returns the sum()
as an int
after a narrowing
primitive conversion.
Returns | |
---|---|
int |
the numeric value represented by this object after conversion
to type int .
|
void reset ()
Resets variables maintaining the sum to zero. This method may be a useful alternative to creating a new adder, but is only effective if there are no concurrent updates. Because this method is intrinsically racy, it should only be used when it is known that no threads are concurrently updating.
long sum ()
Returns the current sum. The returned value is NOT an atomic snapshot; invocation in the absence of concurrent updates returns an accurate result, but concurrent updates that occur while the sum is being calculated might not be incorporated.
Returns | |
---|---|
long |
the sum |
long sumThenReset ()
Equivalent in effect to sum()
followed by reset()
. This method may apply for example during quiescent
points between multithreaded computations. If there are
updates concurrent with this method, the returned value is
not guaranteed to be the final value occurring before
the reset.
