Java 1.4 provides nio, which is the multiplexed non-blocking I/O mentioned in my previous blog. This model has better concurrency performance than the blocking model. Many network applications in Java rewrite the underlying modules, including Tomcat and Jetty, the nio-based framework mina and cindy Made in China also appeared.
The impact of java nio is huge and has gained a lot of support and appreciation.
However, there are some rumors that the implementation in windows is the I/O model IOCP with the best concurrency performance in Windows, but is it true?
JDK 6.0 RC version provides source code download, download path: http://www.java.net/download/jdk6/jdk-6-rc-src-b104-jrl-01_nov_2006.jar
We can see the final implementation of Windows:
J2se \ src \ windows \ native \ sun \ nio \ ch \ WindowsSelectorImpl. c
Start from line 82:/** // * Call select */
If (result = select (0, & readfds, & writefds, & effectfds, TV ))
= SOCKET_ERROR ){
/** // * Bad error-this shoshould not happen frequently */
/** // * Iterate over sockets and call select () on each separately */
FD_SET errreadfds, errwritefds, and errexceptfds;
Readfds. fd_count = 0;
Writefds. fd_count = 0;
Required TFDs. fd_count = 0;
For (I = 0; I <numfds; I ++ ){
/** // * Prepare select structures for the I-th socket */
Errreadfds. fd_count = 0;
Errwritefds. fd_count = 0;
If (fds [I]. events & POLLIN ){
Errreadfds. fd_array [0] = fds [I]. fd;
Errreadfds. fd_count = 1;
}
If (fds [I]. events & (POLLOUT | POLLCONN )){
Errwritefds. fd_array [0] = fds [I]. fd;
Errwritefds. fd_count = 1;
}
Errexceptfds. fd_array [0] = fds [I]. fd;
Errexceptfds. fd_count = 1;
/** // * Call select on the I-th socket */
If (select (0, & errreadfds, & errwritefds, & errexceptfds, & zerotime)
= SOCKET_ERROR ){
/** // * This socket causes an error. Add it to your TFDs set */
Required TFDs. fd_array [limit TFDs. fd_count] = fds [I]. fd;
Using TFDs. fd_count ++;
} Else {
/** // * This socket does not cause an error. Process result */
If (errreadfds. fd_count = 1 ){
Readfds. fd_array [readfds. fd_count] = fds [I]. fd;
Readfds. fd_count ++;
}
If (errwritefds. fd_count = 1 ){
Writefds. fd_array [writefds. fd_count] = fds [I]. fd;
Writefds. fd_count ++;
}
If (errexceptfds. fd_count = 1 ){
Required TFDs. fd_array [limit TFDs. fd_count] = fds [I]. fd;
Using TFDs. fd_count ++;
}
}
}
}
This is the select model widely used in Winsock. It is well known that the concurrency performance is not very good. In addition, FD_SETSIZE cannot exceed the provider limit for lower Windows, which is usually 1024. That is to say, in Windows, the JDK nio model cannot have more than 1024 connections, which is similar to the test result I have previously tested.
In addition, if FD_SETSIZE is large, for example, 1000, 1000 sockets must be set before the select statement is called, and the 1000 sockets must be checked after the result is returned.
In other words, using sun jdk java nio in Windows does not improve the concurrency performance.
