Day 1

Coarse-grained bank

In src/day1/CoarseGrainedBank.kt, make the sequential bank implementation thread-safe. Please follow the coarse-grained locking scheme to make synchronization efficient. For that, you need to use a single lock to protect all bank operations.

To test your solution, please run:

• ./gradlew test --tests CoarseGrainedBankTest on Linux or MacOS
• gradlew test --tests CoarseGrainedBankTest on Windows

Fine-grained bank

In src/day1/FineGrainedBank.kt, make the sequential bank implementation thread-safe. Please follow the fine-grained locking scheme to make synchronization efficient. For that, you need to use per-account locks, thus, ensuring natural parallelism when accessing different accounts. The totalAmount() function should acquire all the locks to get a consistent snapshot, while transfer(..) should acquire the corresponding account locks.

To test your solution, please run:

• ./gradlew test --tests FineGrainedBankTest on Linux or MacOS
• gradlew test --tests FineGrainedBankTest on Windows

Treiber stack

In src/day1/TreiberStack.kt, implement the classic Treiber stack algorithm.

To test your solution, please run:

• ./gradlew test --tests TreiberStackTest on Linux or MacOS
• gradlew test --tests TreiberStackTest on Windows

Treiber stack with elimination

In src/day1/TreiberStackWithElimination.kt, implement the classic Treiber stack algorithm with the elimination technique.

To test your solution, please run:

• ./gradlew test --tests TreiberStackWithEliminationTest on Linux or MacOS
• gradlew test --tests TreiberStackWithEliminationTest on Windows

Michael-Scott queue

In src/day1/MSQueue.kt, implement the Michael-Scott queue algorithm. You might also be interested in the original paper.

To test your solution, please run:

• ./gradlew test --tests MSQueueTest on Linux or MacOS
• gradlew test --tests MSQueueTest on Windows
