Here’s a short explanation of Java Memory Model (JMM):

• JMM defines how threads interact with memory in Java.

• It controls visibility, ordering, and atomicity of variables between threads.

Key Points:

1. Main Memory vs Thread Local Cache

o Each thread can cache variables.

o Changes in one thread may not be immediately visible to others.

2. Happens-Before Relationship

o A rule to guarantee visibility and ordering.

o Example: Unlocking a lock happens-before another thread acquires that lock.

3. volatile

o Ensures visibility: writes to a volatile variable are visible to all threads


immediately.

o Does not ensure atomicity (except for long/double).

4. synchronized / Locks

o Ensure mutual exclusion + establish happens-before.

5. Atomic Classes (java.util.concurrent.atomic)

o Provide lock-free thread-safe operations.
