Assignment

Application: Data Integrity and Concurrency Control in Threaded Applications

You have had theopportunity to evaluate the performance of a threaded version of a sortalgorithm and a non-threaded version of a sort algorithm.

For this Assignment, youwill extend your evaluation by examining the implementation with respect toconcurrency control issues.

To prepare:

· Evaluate the threaded implementation of thesort algorithm relative to data integrity and concurrency control.

Write a2- to 3-page paper evaluating the implementation of the sort algorithm. Answer the following questions:

· Is the threaded implementation correct, orare there data integrity concerns due to concurrency control?

· If your implementation is correct, whatprotections are in place to ensure atomicity and consistency? Could a moreeffective method of ensuring data integrity be implemented in your solution?

· If you ran into trouble with yourimplementation, provide specifics about the data integrity problems youencountered and explain the modifications that will be necessary to correct thedata integrity and concurrency issues.

Include in your analysisan explanation of the operation of the threaded implementation, and if thereare data integrity issues, suggest one or more modifications to theimplementation to resolve these concerns.
