public class Producer

extends BoundedBufferProcess

A Producer is a bounded buffer process that removes buffers from its empty buffer queue, fills them, and places them onto its full buffer queue. The average amount of time spent filling a buffer is the twiddle time of the producer.

Fields inherited from class BoundedBufferProcess

empty, full

Constructor Summary

Producer(java.lang.String nm, double t, BufferQueue f, BufferQueue e)
new Producer(nm, t, f, e) returns a new producer and starts executing its run method in a new thread.

Method Summary

void	step() prod.step() simulates filling a single buffer.

Constructor Detail

Producer

public Producer(java.lang.String nm,
                double t,
                BufferQueue f,
                BufferQueue e)

new Producer(nm, t, f, e) returns a new producer and starts executing its run method in a new thread. The name of the new producer is formed by concatenating its class name with nm. The average twiddle time of the new producer is t. The new producer uses f as a queue for full buffers and e as a queue for empty buffers.
