Class SharedFloat

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Number
edu.rit.pj.reduction.SharedFloat
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable

public class SharedFloat extends Number
Class SharedFloat provides a reduction variable for a value of type float.

Class SharedFloat is multiple thread safe. The methods use lock-free atomic compare-and-set.

Note: Class SharedFloat is implemented using class java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger. The float value is stored as an int whose bit pattern is the same as the float value.
