testing of multithreaded application

[aziz rachid]

Hi,
I want to display the results of the execution of a set of threads to
see how often they are inconsistent. I have the threads code.
I can trace the results values by creating a loop within which
1- all the threads are launched, i gather thx.start() will be
sufficient
2- wait for all the threads to complete its operations
3- kill all threads, then loop back

how can i implement 2) and 3) in Java? Is there another mean to
benchmark the results of multithreaded application execution.

Cheers.

CountDownLatch [1] may of use, for example [2].
