4.5 选择过程的可扩展性 我多次提到选择器可以简化用单线程同时管理多个可选择通道的实现。使用一个线程来为多个通道提供服务,通过消除管理各个线程的额外开销,可能会降低复杂性并可能大幅提升性能。但只使用一个线程来服务所有可选择的通道是否是一个好主意呢?这要看情况。 对单CPU的系统而言这可能是一个好主意,因为在任何情况下都只有一个线程能够运行。通过消除在线程之间进行上下文切换带来的额外开销,总吞吐量可以得到提高。但对于一个多CPU的系统呢?在一个有n个CPU的系统上,当一个单一的线程线性地轮流处理每一个线程时,可能有n-1个cpu处于空闲状态。 那么让不同道请求不同的服务类的办法如何?想象一下,如果一个应用程序为大量的分布式的传感器记录信息。每个传感器在服务线程遍历每个就绪的通道时需要等待数秒钟。这在响应时间不重要时是可以的。但对于高优先级的连接(如操作命令),如果只用一个线程为所有通道提供服务,将不得不在队列中等待。不同的应用程序的要求也是不同的。您采用的策略会受到您尝试解决的问题的影响。 在第一个场景中,如果您想要将更多的线程来为通道提供服务,请抵抗住使用多个选择器的欲望。在大量通道上执行就绪选择并不会有很大的开销,大多数工作是由底层操作系统完成的。管理多个选择器并随机地将通道分派给它们当中的一个并不是这个问题的合理的解决方案。这只会形成这个场景的一个更小的版本。 一个更好的策略是对所有的可选择通道使用一个选择器,并将对就绪通道的服务委托给其他线程。您只用一个线程监控通道的就绪状态并使用一个协调好的工作线程池来处理共接收到的数据。根据部署的条件,线程池的大小是可以调整的(或者它自己进行动态的调整)。对可选择通道的管理仍然是简单的,而简单的就是好的。 第二个场景中,某些通道要求比其他通道更高的响应速度,可以通过使用两个选择器来解决:一个为命令连接服务,另一个为普通连接服务。但这种场景也可以使用与第一个场景十分相似的办法来解决。与将所有准备好的通道放到同一个线程池的做法不同,通道可以根据功能由不同的工作线程来处理。它们可能可以是日志线程池,命令/控制线程池,状态请求线程池,等等。 例4-2的代码是例4-1的一般性的选择循环的扩展。它覆写了readDataFromSocket()方法,并使用线程池来为准备好数据用于读取的通道提供服务。与在主线程中同步地读取数据不同,这个版本的实现将SelectionKey对象传递给为其服务的工作线程。 /* *例4-2.使用线程池来为通道提供服务 */ package com.ronsoft.books.nio.channels; import java.nio.ByteBuffer; import java.nio.channels.SocketChannel; import java.nio.channels.SelectionKey; import java.util.List; import java.util.LinkedList; import java.io.IOException; /** * Specialization of the SelectSockets class which uses a thread pool to service * channels.
