  • Implement a maximum number of threads to exist in the pool.

  • Implement a threshold to stop creating platform threads and leverage virtual threads instead.

  • Implement a core size of threads, those of which never leave the pool to buffer inactivity.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Improved thread pool management for asynchronous tasks, dynamically balancing between platform and virtual threads for better performance and scalability.
    • Introduced a new coroutine dispatcher for unticked asynchronous operations.
  • Improvements

    • Enhanced thread naming for easier identification.
    • Minor formatting updates to coroutine extension functions for improved readability (no behavioral changes).

Walkthrough

The CachedThreadPoolDispatcher was refactored to use a custom ThreadPoolExecutor with configurable core and maximum pool sizes, and dynamic selection between platform and virtual threads based on load. Constants for pool sizing and thresholds were introduced. Minor formatting updates were made to coroutine extension functions without altering their logic.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
engine/engine-core/src/main/kotlin/com/typewritermc/core/utils/CachedThreadPoolDispatcher.kt Refactored dispatcher to use a custom ThreadPoolExecutor with dynamic thread type selection and new pool constants; added new property for dispatcher; updated formatting of coroutine extension functions.

Poem

In the warren where threads abound,
A pool now smarter can be found.
Virtual or platform, it picks with care,
Thirty bunnies—then virtual’s in the air!
With constants new and code refined,
Our coroutines are well aligned.

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Explain this complex logic.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai explain this code block.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and explain its main purpose.

30-48: Well-documented constants with reasonable defaults.

The constants provide good control over thread pool behavior:

  • Core pool ensures baseline availability
  • Max limit prevents resource exhaustion
  • Virtual thread threshold balances thread types effectively

Consider monitoring actual thread usage patterns in production to validate these values are optimal for your workload.

8-10: LGTM!

The imports are appropriate for the custom ThreadPoolExecutor implementation.


76-82: LGTM!

The formatting changes improve readability without altering functionality.


49-72: Verify thread safety and consider task queuing behavior.

The implementation looks good overall, but please verify:

  1. The initialization pattern with lateinit var inside a run block is safe for concurrent access
  2. Consider the implications of using SynchronousQueue - tasks will be rejected if all threads are busy and max pool size is reached

The dynamic thread type selection is a clever optimization. The daemon flag on platform threads is appropriate.

Run the following script to verify the thread naming API usage:

#!/bin/bash
# Description: Verify the Thread.name() method signature and usage

# Search for Thread.name method usage patterns in the codebase
ast-grep --pattern 'Thread.$_().name($$$)'

# Check if there are other usages of thread naming to ensure consistency
rg -A 2 'Thread\.(of|name)' --type kotlin

@DevMunky Thanks for this PR. I have some changes that I think would improve it. Could you implement them? If not, please explain why your approach is better or why my suggestions won't work.

* Removed MAX_THREAD_POOL_SIZE and VIRTUAL_THREAD_THRESHOLD, replacing them with MAX_PLATFORM_THREADS and MAX_VIRTUAL_THREADS.

* Improve documentation to include @sees for java implementation specifics.

77-77: Thread naming implementation is correct

This addresses the past review concern about thread naming. The Thread.Builder.name() method with index parameter will automatically append unique numbers to distinguish threads.

8-10: LGTM: Required imports for custom thread pool implementation

The new imports are necessary for the custom ThreadPoolExecutor implementation and are correctly added.


39-39: Good implementation of CPU-based scaling

This addresses the past review feedback about making values dynamic based on available processors. The * 2 multiplier aligns with gabber235's suggestion.


49-49: Virtual thread scaling looks appropriate

The * 10 multiplier for virtual threads follows the previous discussion and should provide good scaling for virtual thread workloads.


87-93: LGTM: Formatting improvements with no logic changes

The extension function formatting has been improved without altering the underlying logic.

…FORM_THREADS and MAX_VIRTUAL_THREADS.

* I forgot.

May want to add more documentation but it is really not that important, since this system is so low-level. No extension developers will likely ever see these fields.
