前两天逛博客的时候看到有个人写了一篇博客说ReentrantLock比synchronized慢,这就很违反我的认知了,详细看了他的博客和测试代码,发现了他测试的不严谨,并在评论中友好地指出了他的问题,结果他直接把博客给删了 删了 了……
很多老一辈的程序猿对有synchronized有个 性能差 的刻板印象,然后极力推崇使用java.util.concurrent包中的lock类,如果你追问他们synchronized和lock实现性能差多少,估计没几个人能答出来。 说到这你是不是也很想知道我的测试结果? synchronized与ReentrantLock所实现的功能差不多,用途也大幅度重合,索性我们就来测测这二者的性能差异。
实测结果
测试平台:jdk11, MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017) , jmh测试
测试代码如下:
public class LockTest {
private static Object lock = new Object();
private static ReentrantLock reentrantLock = new ReentrantLock();
private static long cnt = 0;
@Benchmark
@Measurement(iterations = 2)
@Threads(10)
@Fork(0)
@Warmup(iterations = 5, time = 10)
public void testWithoutLock(){
doSomething();
}
@Benchmark
@Measurement(iterations = 2)
@Threads(10)
@Fork(0)
@Warmup(iterations = 5, time = 10)
public void testReentrantLock(){
reentrantLock.lock();
doSomething();
reentrantLock.unlock();
}
@Benchmark
@Measurement(iterations = 2)
@Threads(10)
@Fork(0)
@Warmup(iterations = 5, time = 10)
public void testSynchronized(){
synchronized (lock) {
doSomething();
}
}
private void doSomething() {
cnt += 1;
if (cnt >= (Long.MAX_VALUE >> 1)) {
cnt = 0;
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Options options = new OptionsBuilder().include(LockTest.class.getSimpleName()).build();
try {
new Runner(options).run();
} catch (Exception e) {
} finally {
}
}
}
Benchmark Mode Cnt Score Error Units
LockTest.testReentrantLock thrpt 2 32283819.289 ops/s
LockTest.testSynchronized thrpt 2 25325244.320 ops/s
LockTest.testWithoutLock thrpt 2 641215542.492 ops/s
没错synchronized性能确实更差,但就只差20%左右,第一次测试的时候我也挺诧异的,知道synchronized会差,但那种预期中几个数量级的差异却没有出现。 于是我又把@Threads线程数调大了,增加了多线程之间竞争的可能性,得到了如下的结果。
在这里插入图片描述
Benchmark Mode Cnt Score Error Units
LockTest.testReentrantLock thrpt 2 29464798.051 ops/s
LockTest.testSynchronized thrpt 2 22346035.066 ops/s
LockTest.testWithoutLock thrpt 2 383047064.795 ops/s
性能差异稍有拉开,但还是在同一量级上。
结论
无可置疑,synchronized的性能确实要比synchronized差个20%-30%,那是不是代码中所有用到synchronized的地方都应该换成lock? 非也,仔细想想看,ReentrantLock几乎和可以替代任何使用synchronized的场景,而且性能更好,那为什么jdk一直要留着这个关键词呢?而且完全没有任何想要废弃它的想法。
黑格尔说过存在即合理, synchronized因多线程应运而生,它的存在也大幅度简化了Java多线程的开发。没错,它的优势就是使用简单,你不需要显示去加减锁,相比之下ReentrantLock的使用就繁琐的多了,你加完锁之后还得考虑到各种情况下的锁释放,稍不留神就一个bug埋下了。
但ReentrantLock的繁琐之下,它也提供了更复杂的api,足以应对更多更复杂的需求,详细可以参考我之前的博客ReentrantLock源码解析。
如今synchronized与ReentrantLock二者的性能差异不再是选谁的主要因素,你在做选择的时候更应该考虑的是其易用性、功能性和代码的可维护性…… 二者30%的性能差异决定不了什么,如果你真想优化代码的性能,你应该选择的是其他的切入点,而不是斤斤计较这个,切记不要拣了芝麻丢了西瓜。
文章本该到这里就结束了,但我仍然好奇为什么synchronized给老一辈java程序猿留下了性能差的印象,无奈jdk1.5及之前的资料已经比较久远 不太好找,但是jdk1.6对synchronized的性能提升做了啥还是很好找的。
jdk对synchronized优化了啥?
如果你对代码段加了synchronized的,jvm编译后就会在其前后分别插入monitorenter和monitorexit指令,如下:
void onlyMe(Foo f) {
synchronized(f) {
doSomething();
}
}
编译后:
Method void onlyMe(Foo)
0 aload_1 // Push f
1 dup // Duplicate it on the stack
2 astore_2 // Store duplicate in local variable 2
3 monitorenter // Enter the monitor associated with f
4 aload_0 // Holding the monitor, pass this and...
5 invokevirtual #5 // ...call Example.doSomething()V
8 aload_2 // Push local variable 2 (f)
9 monitorexit // Exit the monitor associated with f
10 goto 18 // Complete the method normally
13 astore_3 // In case of any throw, end up here
14 aload_2 // Push local variable 2 (f)
15 monitorexit // Be sure to exit the monitor!
16 aload_3 // Push thrown value...
17 athrow // ...and rethrow value to the invoker
18 return // Return in the normal case
Exception table:
From To Target Type
4 10 13 any
13 16 13 any
加锁和释放锁的性能消耗其实就体现在了 monitorenter和monitorexit两个指令上了,如果是优化性能,肯定也是在这两个指令上优化了。 查阅《Java并发编程的艺术》发现,Java6为了减少锁获取和释放带来的性能消耗,引入了锁分级的策略。 将锁状态分别分成 无锁、偏向锁、轻量级锁、重量级锁 四个状态,其性能依次递减。但所幸因为局部性的存在,大多数并发情况下偏向锁或者轻量级锁就能满足我们的需求,而且锁只有在竞争严重的情况下才会升级,所以大多数情况下synchronized性能也不会太差。
最后我在jdk11u的源码里找到了monitorenter和monitorexit的x86版本的实现(汇编指令和具体平台相关)献给大家,欢迎有志之士研读下。
