A synchronization aid that allows one or more threads to wait until
a set of operations being performed in other threads completes.
A CountDownLatch
is initialized with a given count. The await
methods block until the current count reaches zero due to invocations of the countDown
method, after which all waiting threads are released and any subsequent invocations of await
return immediately. This is a one-shot phenomenon -- the count cannot be reset. If you need a version that resets the count, consider using a CyclicBarrier
.
A CountDownLatch
is a versatile synchronization tool and can be used for a number of purposes. A CountDownLatch
initialized with a count of one serves as a simple on/off latch, or gate: all threads invoking await
wait at the gate until it is opened by a thread invoking countDown
. A CountDownLatch
initialized to N
can be used to make one thread wait until N threads have
completed some action, or some action has been completed N times.
A useful property of a CountDownLatch
is that it doesn't require that threads calling countDown
wait for the count to reach zero before proceeding, it simply prevents any thread from proceeding past an await
until all threads could pass.
Sample usage: Here is a pair of classes in which a group
of worker threads use two countdown latches:
- The first is a start signal that prevents any worker from proceeding
until the driver is ready for them to proceed;
- The second is a completion signal that allows the driver to wait
until all workers have completed.
class Driver { // ...
void main() throws InterruptedException {
CountDownLatch startSignal = new CountDownLatch(1);
CountDownLatch doneSignal = new CountDownLatch(N);
for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) // create and start threads
new Thread(new Worker(startSignal, doneSignal)).start();
doSomethingElse(); // don't let run yet
startSignal.countDown(); // let all threads proceed
doSomethingElse();
doneSignal.await(); // wait for all to finish
}
}
class Worker implements Runnable {
private final CountDownLatch startSignal;
private final CountDownLatch doneSignal;
Worker(CountDownLatch startSignal, CountDownLatch doneSignal) {
this.startSignal = startSignal;
this.doneSignal = doneSignal;
}
public void run() {
try {
startSignal.await();
doWork();
doneSignal.countDown();
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {} // return;
}
void doWork() { ... }
}
Another typical usage would be to divide a problem into N parts, describe each part with a Runnable that executes that portion and counts down on the latch, and queue all the Runnables to an Executor. When all sub-parts are complete, the coordinating thread will be able to pass through await. (When threads must repeatedly count down in this way, instead use a CyclicBarrier
.)
class Driver2 { // ...
void main() throws InterruptedException {
CountDownLatch doneSignal = new CountDownLatch(N);
Executor e = ...
for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) // create and start threads
e.execute(new WorkerRunnable(doneSignal, i));
doneSignal.await(); // wait for all to finish
}
}
class WorkerRunnable implements Runnable {
private final CountDownLatch doneSignal;
private final int i;
WorkerRunnable(CountDownLatch doneSignal, int i) {
this.doneSignal = doneSignal;
this.i = i;
}
public void run() {
try {
doWork(i);
doneSignal.countDown();
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {} // return;
}
void doWork() { ... }
}
Memory consistency effects: Until the count reaches zero, actions in a thread prior to calling countDown()
happen-before actions following a successful return from a corresponding await()
in another thread.

Causes the current thread to wait until the latch has counted down to zero, unless the thread is interrupted, or the specified waiting time elapses. If the current count is zero then this method returns immediately with the value true
