天天看點

如何合理地估算線程池大小?

這個問題雖然看起來很小,卻并不那麼容易回答。

大家如果有更好的方法歡迎賜教,先來一個天真的估算方法:

假設要求一個系統的TPS(Transaction Per Second或者Task Per Second)至少為20,然後假設每個Transaction由一個線程完成,繼續假設平均每個線程處理一個Transaction的時間為4s。

那麼問題轉化為:如何設計線程池大小,使得可以在1s内處理完20個Transaction?

計算過程很簡單,每個線程的處理能力為0.25TPS,那麼要達到20TPS,顯然需要20/0.25=80個線程。

很顯然這個估算方法很天真,因為它沒有考慮到CPU數目。一般伺服器的CPU核數為16或者32,如果有80個線程,那麼肯定會帶來太多不必要的線程上下文切換開銷。

再來第二種簡單的但不知是否可行的方法(N為CPU總核數):

如果是CPU密集型應用,則線程池大小設定為N+1

如果是IO密集型應用,則線程池大小設定為2N+1

如果一台伺服器上隻部署這一個應用并且隻有這一個線程池,那麼這種估算或許合理,具體還需自行測試驗證。

接下來在這個文檔:伺服器性能IO優化 中發現一個估算公式:

最佳線程數目 = ((線程等待時間+線程CPU時間)/線程CPU時間 )* CPU數目

比如平均每個線程CPU運作時間為0.5s,而線程等待時間(非CPU運作時間,比如IO)為1.5s,CPU核心數為8,那麼根據上面這個公式估算得到:((0.5+1.5)/0.5)*8=32。這個公式進一步轉化為:

最佳線程數目 = (線程等待時間與線程CPU時間之比 + 1)* CPU數目

可以得出一個結論:線程等待時間所占比例越高,需要越多線程。線程CPU時間所占比例越高,需要越少線程。

上一種估算方法也和這個結論相合。

一個系統最快的部分是CPU,是以決定一個系統吞吐量上限的是CPU。增強CPU處理能力,可以提高系統吞吐量上限。但根據短闆效應,真實的系統吞吐量并不能單純根據CPU來計算。那要提高系統吞吐量,就需要從“系統短闆”(比如網絡延遲、IO)着手:

盡量提高短闆操作的并行化比率,比如多線程下載下傳技術

增強短闆能力,比如用NIO替代IO

第一條可以聯系到Amdahl定律,這條定律定義了串行系統并行化後的加速比計算公式:

加速比=優化前系統耗時 / 優化後系統耗時

加速比越大,表明系統并行化的優化效果越好。Addahl定律還給出了系統并行度、CPU數目和加速比的關系,加速比為Speedup,系統串行化比率(指串行執行代碼所占比率)為F,CPU數目為N:

如何合理地估算線程池大小?

當N足夠大時,串行化比率F越小,加速比Speedup越大。

寫到這裡,我突然冒出一個問題。

是否使用線程池就一定比使用單線程高效呢?

答案是否定的,比如Redis就是單線程的,但它卻非常高效,基本操作都能達到十萬量級/s。從線程這個角度來看,部分原因在于:

多線程帶來線程上下文切換開銷,單線程就沒有這種開銷

當然“Redis很快”更本質的原因在于:Redis基本都是記憶體操作,這種情況下單線程可以很高效地利用CPU。而多線程适用場景一般是:存在相當比例的IO和網絡操作。

是以即使有上面的簡單估算方法,也許看似合理,但實際上也未必合理,都需要結合系統真實情況(比如是IO密集型或者是CPU密集型或者是純記憶體操作)和硬體環境(CPU、記憶體、硬碟讀寫速度、網絡狀況等)來不斷嘗試達到一個符合實際的合理估算值。

最後來一個“Dark Magic”估算方法(因為我暫時還沒有搞懂它的原理),使用下面的類:

然後自己繼承這個抽象類并實作它的三個抽象方法,比如下面是我寫的一個示例(任務是請求網絡資料),其中我指定期望CPU使用率為1.0(即100%),任務隊列總大小不超過100,000位元組:

package threadpool;

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.lang.management.ManagementFactory;
import java.math.BigDecimal;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.concurrent.BlockingQueue;
import java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingQueue;

public class SimplePoolSizeCaculatorImpl extends PoolSizeCalculator {

    @Override
    protected Runnable creatTask() {
        return new AsyncIOTask();
    }

    @Override
    protected BlockingQueue createWorkQueue() {
        return new LinkedBlockingQueue(1000);
    }

    @Override
    protected long getCurrentThreadCPUTime() {
        return ManagementFactory.getThreadMXBean().getCurrentThreadCpuTime();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        PoolSizeCalculator poolSizeCalculator = new SimplePoolSizeCaculatorImpl();
        poolSizeCalculator.calculateBoundaries(new BigDecimal(1.0), new BigDecimal(100000));
    }

}

/**
 * 自定義的異步IO任務
 * @author Will
 *
 */
class AsyncIOTask implements Runnable {

    public void run() {
        HttpURLConnection connection = null;
        BufferedReader reader = null;
        try {
            String getURL = "http://baidu.com";
            URL getUrl = new URL(getURL);

            connection = (HttpURLConnection) getUrl.openConnection();
            connection.connect();
            reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                    connection.getInputStream()));

            String line;
            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                // empty loop
            }
        }

        catch (IOException e) {

        } finally {
            if(reader != null) {
                try {
                    reader.close();
                }
                catch(Exception e) {

                }
            }
            connection.disconnect();
        }

    }

}      

得到如下輸出:

Target queue memory usage (bytes): 100000
createTask() produced threadpool.AsyncIOTask which took 40 bytes in a queue
Formula: 100000 / 40
* Recommended queue capacity (bytes): 2500
Number of CPU: 8
Target utilization: 1
Elapsed time (nanos): 3000000000
Compute time (nanos): 280801800
Wait time (nanos): 2719198200
Formula: 8 * 1 * (1 + 2719198200 / 280801800)
* Optimal thread count: 88      

推薦的任務隊列大小為2500,線程數為88。依次為依據,我們就可以構造這樣一個線程池:

ThreadPoolExecutor pool = new ThreadPoolExecutor(88, 88, 0L, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS, new LinkedBlockingQueue<Runnable>(2500));      

可以将這個檔案打包成可執行的jar檔案,這樣就可以拷貝到測試/正式環境上執行。
