+   * - whenever all actors are in the "pinged" list (i.e. have not yet
+   *   answered with a "pong"), delay processing of the next Work() by
+   *   100 millis
+   * - when receiving a Work() while all actors are "pinged", stop the
+   *   hierarchy and go to the Stopping state
+   * 
+   * Finishing:
+   * - after dealing out the last action, wait for the outstanding "pong"
+   *   messages
+   * - when last "pong" is received, goto LastPing state
+   * - upon state timeout, stop the hierarchy and go to the Failed state
+   * 
+   * LastPing:
+   * - upon entering this state, send a "ping" to all actors
+   * - when last "pong" is received, goto Stopping state
+   * - upon state timeout, stop the hierarchy and go to the Failed state
+   * 
+   * Stopping:
+   * - upon entering this state, stop the hierarchy
+   * - upon termination of the hierarchy send back successful result
+   * 
+   * Whenever an ErrorLog is received, goto Failed state
+   * 
+   * Failed:
+   * - accumulate ErrorLog messages
+   * - upon termination of the hierarchy send back failed result and print
+   *   the logs, merged and in chronological order.
+   * 
+   * TODO RK: also test Stop directive, and keep a complete list of all 
+   * actors ever created, then verify after stop()ping the hierarchy that
+   * all are terminated, transfer them to a WeakHashMap and verify that 
+   * they are indeed GCed
+   * 
+   * TODO RK: make hierarchy construction stochastic so that it includes
+   * different breadth (including the degenerate breadth-1 case).
+   * 
+   * TODO RK: also test Escalate by adding an exception with a `var depth`
+   * which gets decremented within the supervisor and gets handled when zero
+   * is reached (Restart resolution)
+   * 
+   * TODO RK: also test exceptions during recreate
+   * 
+   * TODO RK: also test recreate including terminating children
+   *

-/**
- * An {@link ExecutorService} for running {@link ForkJoinTask}s.
- * A {@code ForkJoinPool} provides the entry point for submissions
- * from non-{@code ForkJoinTask} clients, as well as management and
- * monitoring operations.
- *
- * <p>A {@code ForkJoinPool} differs from other kinds of {@link
- * ExecutorService} mainly by virtue of employing
- * <em>work-stealing</em>: all threads in the pool attempt to find and
- * execute tasks submitted to the pool and/or created by other active
- * tasks (eventually blocking waiting for work if none exist). This
- * enables efficient processing when most tasks spawn other subtasks
- * (as do most {@code ForkJoinTask}s), as well as when many small
- * tasks are submitted to the pool from external clients.  Especially
- * when setting <em>asyncMode</em> to true in constructors, {@code
- * ForkJoinPool}s may also be appropriate for use with event-style
- * tasks that are never joined.
- *
- * <p>A {@code ForkJoinPool} is constructed with a given target
- * parallelism level; by default, equal to the number of available
- * processors. The pool attempts to maintain enough active (or
- * available) threads by dynamically adding, suspending, or resuming
- * internal worker threads, even if some tasks are stalled waiting to
- * join others. However, no such adjustments are guaranteed in the
- * face of blocked IO or other unmanaged synchronization. The nested
- * {@link ManagedBlocker} interface enables extension of the kinds of
- * synchronization accommodated.
- *
- * <p>In addition to execution and lifecycle control methods, this
- * class provides status check methods (for example
- * {@link #getStealCount}) that are intended to aid in developing,
- * tuning, and monitoring fork/join applications. Also, method
- * {@link #toString} returns indications of pool state in a
- * convenient form for informal monitoring.
- *

-     * Implementation Overview
-     *
-     * This class and its nested classes provide the main
-     * functionality and control for a set of worker threads:
-     * Submissions from non-FJ threads enter into submission queues.
-     * Workers take these tasks and typically split them into subtasks
-     * that may be stolen by other workers.  Preference rules give
-     * first priority to processing tasks from their own queues (LIFO
-     * or FIFO, depending on mode), then to randomized FIFO steals of
-     * tasks in other queues.
-     *
-     * WorkQueues
-     * ==========
-     *
-     * Most operations occur within work-stealing queues (in nested
-     * class WorkQueue).  These are special forms of Deques that
-     * support only three of the four possible end-operations -- push,
-     * pop, and poll (aka steal), under the further constraints that
-     * push and pop are called only from the owning thread (or, as
-     * extended here, under a lock), while poll may be called from
-     * other threads.  (If you are unfamiliar with them, you probably
-     * want to read Herlihy and Shavit's book "The Art of
-     * Multiprocessor programming", chapter 16 describing these in
-     * more detail before proceeding.)  The main work-stealing queue
-     * design is roughly similar to those in the papers "Dynamic
-     * Circular Work-Stealing Deque" by Chase and Lev, SPAA 2005
-     * (http://research.sun.com/scalable/pubs/index.html) and
-     * "Idempotent work stealing" by Michael, Saraswat, and Vechev,
-     * PPoPP 2009 (http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1504186).
-     * The main differences ultimately stem from GC requirements that
-     * we null out taken slots as soon as we can, to maintain as small
-     * a footprint as possible even in programs generating huge
-     * numbers of tasks. To accomplish this, we shift the CAS
-     * arbitrating pop vs poll (steal) from being on the indices
-     * ("base" and "top") to the slots themselves.  So, both a
-     * successful pop and poll mainly entail a CAS of a slot from
-     * non-null to null.  Because we rely on CASes of references, we
-     * do not need tag bits on base or top.  They are simple ints as
-     * used in any circular array-based queue (see for example
-     * ArrayDeque).  Updates to the indices must still be ordered in a
-     * way that guarantees that top == base means the queue is empty,
-     * but otherwise may err on the side of possibly making the queue
-     * appear nonempty when a push, pop, or poll have not fully
-     * committed. Note that this means that the poll operation,
-     * considered individually, is not wait-free. One thief cannot
-     * successfully continue until another in-progress one (or, if
-     * previously empty, a push) completes.  However, in the
-     * aggregate, we ensure at least probabilistic non-blockingness.
-     * If an attempted steal fails, a thief always chooses a different
-     * random victim target to try next. So, in order for one thief to
-     * progress, it suffices for any in-progress poll or new push on
-     * any empty queue to complete. (This is why we normally use
-     * method pollAt and its variants that try once at the apparent
-     * base index, else consider alternative actions, rather than
-     * method poll.)
-     *
-     * This approach also enables support of a user mode in which local
-     * task processing is in FIFO, not LIFO order, simply by using
-     * poll rather than pop.  This can be useful in message-passing
-     * frameworks in which tasks are never joined.  However neither
-     * mode considers affinities, loads, cache localities, etc, so
-     * rarely provide the best possible performance on a given
-     * machine, but portably provide good throughput by averaging over
-     * these factors.  (Further, even if we did try to use such
-     * information, we do not usually have a basis for exploiting it.
-     * For example, some sets of tasks profit from cache affinities,
-     * but others are harmed by cache pollution effects.)
-     *
-     * WorkQueues are also used in a similar way for tasks submitted
-     * to the pool. We cannot mix these tasks in the same queues used
-     * for work-stealing (this would contaminate lifo/fifo
-     * processing). Instead, we loosely associate submission queues
-     * with submitting threads, using a form of hashing.  The
-     * ThreadLocal Submitter class contains a value initially used as
-     * a hash code for choosing existing queues, but may be randomly
-     * repositioned upon contention with other submitters.  In
-     * essence, submitters act like workers except that they never
-     * take tasks, and they are multiplexed on to a finite number of
-     * shared work queues. However, classes are set up so that future
-     * extensions could allow submitters to optionally help perform
-     * tasks as well. Insertion of tasks in shared mode requires a
-     * lock (mainly to protect in the case of resizing) but we use
-     * only a simple spinlock (using bits in field runState), because
-     * submitters encountering a busy queue move on to try or create
-     * other queues -- they block only when creating and registering
-     * new queues.
-     *
-     * Management
-     * ==========
-     *
-     * The main throughput advantages of work-stealing stem from
-     * decentralized control -- workers mostly take tasks from
-     * themselves or each other. We cannot negate this in the
-     * implementation of other management responsibilities. The main
-     * tactic for avoiding bottlenecks is packing nearly all
-     * essentially atomic control state into two volatile variables
-     * that are by far most often read (not written) as status and
-     * consistency checks.
-     *
-     * Field "ctl" contains 64 bits holding all the information needed
-     * to atomically decide to add, inactivate, enqueue (on an event
-     * queue), dequeue, and/or re-activate workers.  To enable this
-     * packing, we restrict maximum parallelism to (1<<15)-1 (which is
-     * far in excess of normal operating range) to allow ids, counts,
-     * and their negations (used for thresholding) to fit into 16bit
-     * fields.
-     *
-     * Field "runState" contains 32 bits needed to register and
-     * deregister WorkQueues, as well as to enable shutdown. It is
-     * only modified under a lock (normally briefly held, but
-     * occasionally protecting allocations and resizings) but even
-     * when locked remains available to check consistency.
-     *
-     * Recording WorkQueues.  WorkQueues are recorded in the
-     * "workQueues" array that is created upon pool construction and
-     * expanded if necessary.  Updates to the array while recording
-     * new workers and unrecording terminated ones are protected from
-     * each other by a lock but the array is otherwise concurrently
-     * readable, and accessed directly.  To simplify index-based
-     * operations, the array size is always a power of two, and all
-     * readers must tolerate null slots. Shared (submission) queues
-     * are at even indices, worker queues at odd indices. Grouping
-     * them together in this way simplifies and speeds up task
-     * scanning.
-     *
-     * All worker thread creation is on-demand, triggered by task
-     * submissions, replacement of terminated workers, and/or
-     * compensation for blocked workers. However, all other support
-     * code is set up to work with other policies.  To ensure that we
-     * do not hold on to worker references that would prevent GC, ALL
-     * accesses to workQueues are via indices into the workQueues
-     * array (which is one source of some of the messy code
-     * constructions here). In essence, the workQueues array serves as
-     * a weak reference mechanism. Thus for example the wait queue
-     * field of ctl stores indices, not references.  Access to the
-     * workQueues in associated methods (for example signalWork) must
-     * both index-check and null-check the IDs. All such accesses
-     * ignore bad IDs by returning out early from what they are doing,
-     * since this can only be associated with termination, in which
-     * case it is OK to give up.  All uses of the workQueues array
-     * also check that it is non-null (even if previously
-     * non-null). This allows nulling during termination, which is
-     * currently not necessary, but remains an option for
-     * resource-revocation-based shutdown schemes. It also helps
-     * reduce JIT issuance of uncommon-trap code, which tends to
-     * unnecessarily complicate control flow in some methods.
-     *
-     * Event Queuing. Unlike HPC work-stealing frameworks, we cannot
-     * let workers spin indefinitely scanning for tasks when none can
-     * be found immediately, and we cannot start/resume workers unless
-     * there appear to be tasks available.  On the other hand, we must
-     * quickly prod them into action when new tasks are submitted or
-     * generated. In many usages, ramp-up time to activate workers is
-     * the main limiting factor in overall performance (this is
-     * compounded at program start-up by JIT compilation and
-     * allocation). So we try to streamline this as much as possible.
-     * We park/unpark workers after placing in an event wait queue
-     * when they cannot find work. This "queue" is actually a simple
-     * Treiber stack, headed by the "id" field of ctl, plus a 15bit
-     * counter value (that reflects the number of times a worker has
-     * been inactivated) to avoid ABA effects (we need only as many
-     * version numbers as worker threads). Successors are held in
-     * field WorkQueue.nextWait.  Queuing deals with several intrinsic
-     * races, mainly that a task-producing thread can miss seeing (and
-     * signalling) another thread that gave up looking for work but
-     * has not yet entered the wait queue. We solve this by requiring
-     * a full sweep of all workers (via repeated calls to method
-     * scan()) both before and after a newly waiting worker is added
-     * to the wait queue. During a rescan, the worker might release
-     * some other queued worker rather than itself, which has the same
-     * net effect. Because enqueued workers may actually be rescanning
-     * rather than waiting, we set and clear the "parker" field of
-     * WorkQueues to reduce unnecessary calls to unpark.  (This
-     * requires a secondary recheck to avoid missed signals.)  Note
-     * the unusual conventions about Thread.interrupts surrounding
-     * parking and other blocking: Because interrupts are used solely
-     * to alert threads to check termination, which is checked anyway
-     * upon blocking, we clear status (using Thread.interrupted)
-     * before any call to park, so that park does not immediately
-     * return due to status being set via some other unrelated call to
-     * interrupt in user code.
-     *
-     * Signalling.  We create or wake up workers only when there
-     * appears to be at least one task they might be able to find and
-     * execute.  When a submission is added or another worker adds a
-     * task to a queue that previously had fewer than two tasks, they
-     * signal waiting workers (or trigger creation of new ones if
-     * fewer than the given parallelism level -- see signalWork).
-     * These primary signals are buttressed by signals during rescans;
-     * together these cover the signals needed in cases when more
-     * tasks are pushed but untaken, and improve performance compared
-     * to having one thread wake up all workers.
-     *
-     * Trimming workers. To release resources after periods of lack of
-     * use, a worker starting to wait when the pool is quiescent will
-     * time out and terminate if the pool has remained quiescent for
-     * SHRINK_RATE nanosecs. This will slowly propagate, eventually
-     * terminating all workers after long periods of non-use.
-     *
-     * Shutdown and Termination. A call to shutdownNow atomically sets
-     * a runState bit and then (non-atomically) sets each worker's
-     * runState status, cancels all unprocessed tasks, and wakes up
-     * all waiting workers.  Detecting whether termination should
-     * commence after a non-abrupt shutdown() call requires more work
-     * and bookkeeping. We need consensus about quiescence (i.e., that
-     * there is no more work). The active count provides a primary
-     * indication but non-abrupt shutdown still requires a rechecking
-     * scan for any workers that are inactive but not queued.
-     *
-     * Joining Tasks
-     * =============
-     *
-     * Any of several actions may be taken when one worker is waiting
-     * to join a task stolen (or always held) by another.  Because we
-     * are multiplexing many tasks on to a pool of workers, we can't
-     * just let them block (as in Thread.join).  We also cannot just
-     * reassign the joiner's run-time stack with another and replace
-     * it later, which would be a form of "continuation", that even if
-     * possible is not necessarily a good idea since we sometimes need
-     * both an unblocked task and its continuation to progress.
-     * Instead we combine two tactics:
-     *
-     *   Helping: Arranging for the joiner to execute some task that it
-     *      would be running if the steal had not occurred.
-     *
-     *   Compensating: Unless there are already enough live threads,
-     *      method tryCompensate() may create or re-activate a spare
-     *      thread to compensate for blocked joiners until they unblock.
-     *
-     * A third form (implemented in tryRemoveAndExec and
-     * tryPollForAndExec) amounts to helping a hypothetical
-     * compensator: If we can readily tell that a possible action of a
-     * compensator is to steal and execute the task being joined, the
-     * joining thread can do so directly, without the need for a
-     * compensation thread (although at the expense of larger run-time
-     * stacks, but the tradeoff is typically worthwhile).
-     *
-     * The ManagedBlocker extension API can't use helping so relies
-     * only on compensation in method awaitBlocker.
-     *
-     * The algorithm in tryHelpStealer entails a form of "linear"
-     * helping: Each worker records (in field currentSteal) the most
-     * recent task it stole from some other worker. Plus, it records
-     * (in field currentJoin) the task it is currently actively
-     * joining. Method tryHelpStealer uses these markers to try to
-     * find a worker to help (i.e., steal back a task from and execute
-     * it) that could hasten completion of the actively joined task.
-     * In essence, the joiner executes a task that would be on its own
-     * local deque had the to-be-joined task not been stolen. This may
-     * be seen as a conservative variant of the approach in Wagner &
-     * Calder "Leapfrogging: a portable technique for implementing
-     * efficient futures" SIGPLAN Notices, 1993
-     * (http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=155354). It differs in
-     * that: (1) We only maintain dependency links across workers upon
-     * steals, rather than use per-task bookkeeping.  This sometimes
-     * requires a linear scan of workQueues array to locate stealers,
-     * but often doesn't because stealers leave hints (that may become
-     * stale/wrong) of where to locate them.  A stealHint is only a
-     * hint because a worker might have had multiple steals and the
-     * hint records only one of them (usually the most current).
-     * Hinting isolates cost to when it is needed, rather than adding
-     * to per-task overhead.  (2) It is "shallow", ignoring nesting
-     * and potentially cyclic mutual steals.  (3) It is intentionally
-     * racy: field currentJoin is updated only while actively joining,
-     * which means that we miss links in the chain during long-lived
-     * tasks, GC stalls etc (which is OK since blocking in such cases
-     * is usually a good idea).  (4) We bound the number of attempts
-     * to find work (see MAX_HELP) and fall back to suspending the
-     * worker and if necessary replacing it with another.
-     *
-     * It is impossible to keep exactly the target parallelism number
-     * of threads running at any given time.  Determining the
-     * existence of conservatively safe helping targets, the
-     * availability of already-created spares, and the apparent need
-     * to create new spares are all racy, so we rely on multiple
-     * retries of each.  Compensation in the apparent absence of
-     * helping opportunities is challenging to control on JVMs, where
-     * GC and other activities can stall progress of tasks that in
-     * turn stall out many other dependent tasks, without us being
-     * able to determine whether they will ever require compensation.
-     * Even though work-stealing otherwise encounters little
-     * degradation in the presence of more threads than cores,
-     * aggressively adding new threads in such cases entails risk of
-     * unwanted positive feedback control loops in which more threads
-     * cause more dependent stalls (as well as delayed progress of
-     * unblocked threads to the point that we know they are available)
-     * leading to more situations requiring more threads, and so
-     * on. This aspect of control can be seen as an (analytically
-     * intractable) game with an opponent that may choose the worst
-     * (for us) active thread to stall at any time.  We take several
-     * precautions to bound losses (and thus bound gains), mainly in
-     * methods tryCompensate and awaitJoin: (1) We only try
-     * compensation after attempting enough helping steps (measured
-     * via counting and timing) that we have already consumed the
-     * estimated cost of creating and activating a new thread.  (2) We
-     * allow up to 50% of threads to be blocked before initially
-     * adding any others, and unless completely saturated, check that
-     * some work is available for a new worker before adding. Also, we
-     * create up to only 50% more threads until entering a mode that
-     * only adds a thread if all others are possibly blocked.  All
-     * together, this means that we might be half as fast to react,
-     * and create half as many threads as possible in the ideal case,
-     * but present vastly fewer anomalies in all other cases compared
-     * to both more aggressive and more conservative alternatives.
-     *
-     * Style notes: There is a lot of representation-level coupling
-     * among classes ForkJoinPool, ForkJoinWorkerThread, and
-     * ForkJoinTask.  The fields of WorkQueue maintain data structures
-     * managed by ForkJoinPool, so are directly accessed.  There is
-     * little point trying to reduce this, since any associated future
-     * changes in representations will need to be accompanied by
-     * algorithmic changes anyway. Several methods intrinsically
-     * sprawl because they must accumulate sets of consistent reads of
-     * volatiles held in local variables.  Methods signalWork() and
-     * scan() are the main bottlenecks, so are especially heavily
-     * micro-optimized/mangled.  There are lots of inline assignments
-     * (of form "while ((local = field) != 0)") which are usually the
-     * simplest way to ensure the required read orderings (which are
-     * sometimes critical). This leads to a "C"-like style of listing
-     * declarations of these locals at the heads of methods or blocks.
-     * There are several occurrences of the unusual "do {} while
-     * (!cas...)"  which is the simplest way to force an update of a
-     * CAS'ed variable. There are also other coding oddities that help
-     * some methods perform reasonably even when interpreted (not
-     * compiled).

-     * Queues supporting work-stealing as well as external task

-     * Implementation relies heavily on "Unsafe" intrinsics
-     * and selective use of "volatile":
-     *
-     * Field "base" is the index (mod array.length) of the least valid
-     * queue slot, which is always the next position to steal (poll)
-     * from if nonempty. Reads and writes require volatile orderings
-     * but not CAS, because updates are only performed after slot
-     * CASes.
-     *
-     * Field "top" is the index (mod array.length) of the next queue
-     * slot to push to or pop from. It is written only by owner thread
-     * for push, or under lock for trySharedPush, and accessed by
-     * other threads only after reading (volatile) base.  Both top and
-     * base are allowed to wrap around on overflow, but (top - base)
-     * (or more commonly -(base - top) to force volatile read of base
-     * before top) still estimates size.
-     *
-     * The array slots are read and written using the emulation of
-     * volatiles/atomics provided by Unsafe. Insertions must in
-     * general use putOrderedObject as a form of releasing store to
-     * ensure that all writes to the task object are ordered before
-     * its publication in the queue. (Although we can avoid one case
-     * of this when locked in trySharedPush.) All removals entail a
-     * CAS to null.  The array is always a power of two. To ensure
-     * safety of Unsafe array operations, all accesses perform
-     * explicit null checks and implicit bounds checks via
-     * power-of-two masking.
-     *
-     * In addition to basic queuing support, this class contains
-     * fields described elsewhere to control execution. It turns out
-     * to work better memory-layout-wise to include them in this
-     * class rather than a separate class.
-     *
-     * Performance on most platforms is very sensitive to placement of
-     * instances of both WorkQueues and their arrays -- we absolutely
-     * do not want multiple WorkQueue instances or multiple queue
-     * arrays sharing cache lines. (It would be best for queue objects
-     * and their arrays to share, but there is nothing available to
-     * help arrange that).  Unfortunately, because they are recorded
-     * in a common array, WorkQueue instances are often moved to be
-     * adjacent by garbage collectors. To reduce impact, we use field
-     * padding that works OK on common platforms; this effectively
-     * trades off slightly slower average field access for the sake of
-     * avoiding really bad worst-case access. (Until better JVM
-     * support is in place, this padding is dependent on transient
-     * properties of JVM field layout rules.)  We also take care in
-     * allocating, sizing and resizing the array. Non-shared queue

-     * use. Others are allocated on first use.

-     * {@code isReleasable} must return {@code true} if blocking is
-     * not necessary. Method {@code block} blocks the current thread
-     * if necessary (perhaps internally invoking {@code isReleasable}
-     * before actually blocking). These actions are performed by any
-     * thread invoking {@link ForkJoinPool#managedBlock}.  The
-     * unusual methods in this API accommodate synchronizers that may,
-     * but don't usually, block for long periods. Similarly, they
-     * allow more efficient internal handling of cases in which
-     * additional workers may be, but usually are not, needed to
-     * ensure sufficient parallelism.  Toward this end,
-     * implementations of method {@code isReleasable} must be amenable
-     * to repeated invocation.

- * Abstract base class for tasks that run within a {@link ForkJoinPool}.
- * A {@code ForkJoinTask} is a thread-like entity that is much
- * lighter weight than a normal thread.  Huge numbers of tasks and
- * subtasks may be hosted by a small number of actual threads in a
- * ForkJoinPool, at the price of some usage limitations.
- *
- * <p>A "main" {@code ForkJoinTask} begins execution when submitted
- * to a {@link ForkJoinPool}.  Once started, it will usually in turn
- * start other subtasks.  As indicated by the name of this class,
- * many programs using {@code ForkJoinTask} employ only methods
- * {@link #fork} and {@link #join}, or derivatives such as {@link
- * #invokeAll(ForkJoinTask...) invokeAll}.  However, this class also
- * provides a number of other methods that can come into play in
- * advanced usages, as well as extension mechanics that allow
- * support of new forms of fork/join processing.
- *
- * <p>A {@code ForkJoinTask} is a lightweight form of {@link Future}.
- * The efficiency of {@code ForkJoinTask}s stems from a set of
- * restrictions (that are only partially statically enforceable)
- * reflecting their main use as computational tasks calculating pure
- * functions or operating on purely isolated objects.  The primary
- * coordination mechanisms are {@link #fork}, that arranges
- * asynchronous execution, and {@link #join}, that doesn't proceed
- * until the task's result has been computed.  Computations should
- * ideally avoid {@code synchronized} methods or blocks, and should
- * minimize other blocking synchronization apart from joining other
- * tasks or using synchronizers such as Phasers that are advertised to
- * cooperate with fork/join scheduling. Subdividable tasks should also
- * not perform blocking IO, and should ideally access variables that
- * are completely independent of those accessed by other running
- * tasks. These guidelines are loosely enforced by not permitting
- * checked exceptions such as {@code IOExceptions} to be
- * thrown. However, computations may still encounter unchecked
- * exceptions, that are rethrown to callers attempting to join
- * them. These exceptions may additionally include {@link
- * RejectedExecutionException} stemming from internal resource
- * exhaustion, such as failure to allocate internal task
- * queues. Rethrown exceptions behave in the same way as regular
- * exceptions, but, when possible, contain stack traces (as displayed
- * for example using {@code ex.printStackTrace()}) of both the thread
- * that initiated the computation as well as the thread actually
- * encountering the exception; minimally only the latter.
- *
- * <p>It is possible to define and use ForkJoinTasks that may block,
- * but doing do requires three further considerations: (1) Completion
- * of few if any <em>other</em> tasks should be dependent on a task
- * that blocks on external synchronization or IO. Event-style async
- * tasks that are never joined often fall into this category.  (2) To
- * minimize resource impact, tasks should be small; ideally performing
- * only the (possibly) blocking action. (3) Unless the {@link
- * ForkJoinPool.ManagedBlocker} API is used, or the number of possibly
- * blocked tasks is known to be less than the pool's {@link
- * ForkJoinPool#getParallelism} level, the pool cannot guarantee that
- * enough threads will be available to ensure progress or good
- * performance.
- *
- * <p>The primary method for awaiting completion and extracting
- * results of a task is {@link #join}, but there are several variants:
- * The {@link Future#get} methods support interruptible and/or timed
- * waits for completion and report results using {@code Future}
- * conventions. Method {@link #invoke} is semantically
- * equivalent to {@code fork(); join()} but always attempts to begin
- * execution in the current thread. The "<em>quiet</em>" forms of
- * these methods do not extract results or report exceptions. These
- * may be useful when a set of tasks are being executed, and you need
- * to delay processing of results or exceptions until all complete.
- * Method {@code invokeAll} (available in multiple versions)
- * performs the most common form of parallel invocation: forking a set
- * of tasks and joining them all.
- *
- * <p>In the most typical usages, a fork-join pair act like a call
- * (fork) and return (join) from a parallel recursive function. As is
- * the case with other forms of recursive calls, returns (joins)
- * should be performed innermost-first. For example, {@code a.fork();
- * b.fork(); b.join(); a.join();} is likely to be substantially more
- * efficient than joining {@code a} before {@code b}.
- *
- * <p>The execution status of tasks may be queried at several levels
- * of detail: {@link #isDone} is true if a task completed in any way
- * (including the case where a task was cancelled without executing);
- * {@link #isCompletedNormally} is true if a task completed without
- * cancellation or encountering an exception; {@link #isCancelled} is
- * true if the task was cancelled (in which case {@link #getException}
- * returns a {@link java.util.concurrent.CancellationException}); and
- * {@link #isCompletedAbnormally} is true if a task was either
- * cancelled or encountered an exception, in which case {@link
- * #getException} will return either the encountered exception or
- * {@link java.util.concurrent.CancellationException}.
- *
- * <p>The ForkJoinTask class is not usually directly subclassed.
- * Instead, you subclass one of the abstract classes that support a
- * particular style of fork/join processing, typically {@link
- * RecursiveAction} for computations that do not return results, or
- * {@link RecursiveTask} for those that do.  Normally, a concrete
- * ForkJoinTask subclass declares fields comprising its parameters,
- * established in a constructor, and then defines a {@code compute}
- * method that somehow uses the control methods supplied by this base
- * class. While these methods have {@code public} access (to allow
- * instances of different task subclasses to call each other's
- * methods), some of them may only be called from within other
- * ForkJoinTasks (as may be determined using method {@link
- * #inForkJoinPool}).  Attempts to invoke them in other contexts
- * result in exceptions or errors, possibly including
- * {@code ClassCastException}.
- *
- * <p>Method {@link #join} and its variants are appropriate for use
- * only when completion dependencies are acyclic; that is, the
- * parallel computation can be described as a directed acyclic graph
- * (DAG). Otherwise, executions may encounter a form of deadlock as
- * tasks cyclically wait for each other.  However, this framework
- * supports other methods and techniques (for example the use of
- * {@link Phaser}, {@link #helpQuiesce}, and {@link #complete}) that
- * may be of use in constructing custom subclasses for problems that
- * are not statically structured as DAGs. To support such usages a
- * ForkJoinTask may be atomically <em>marked</em> using {@link
- * #markForkJoinTask} and checked for marking using {@link
- * #isMarkedForkJoinTask}. The ForkJoinTask implementation does not
- * use these {@code protected} methods or marks for any purpose, but
- * they may be of use in the construction of specialized subclasses.
- * For example, parallel graph traversals can use the supplied methods
- * to avoid revisiting nodes/tasks that have already been processed.
- * Also, completion based designs can use them to record that one
- * subtask has completed. (Method names for marking are bulky in part
- * to encourage definition of methods that reflect their usage
- * patterns.)
- *
- * <p>Most base support methods are {@code final}, to prevent
- * overriding of implementations that are intrinsically tied to the
- * underlying lightweight task scheduling framework.  Developers
- * creating new basic styles of fork/join processing should minimally
- * implement {@code protected} methods {@link #exec}, {@link
- * #setRawResult}, and {@link #getRawResult}, while also introducing
- * an abstract computational method that can be implemented in its
- * subclasses, possibly relying on other {@code protected} methods
- * provided by this class.
- *
- * <p>ForkJoinTasks should perform relatively small amounts of
- * computation. Large tasks should be split into smaller subtasks,
- * usually via recursive decomposition. As a very rough rule of thumb,
- * a task should perform more than 100 and less than 10000 basic
- * computational steps, and should avoid indefinite looping. If tasks
- * are too big, then parallelism cannot improve throughput. If too
- * small, then memory and internal task maintenance overhead may
- * overwhelm processing.
- *
- * <p>This class provides {@code adapt} methods for {@link Runnable}
- * and {@link Callable}, that may be of use when mixing execution of
- * {@code ForkJoinTasks} with other kinds of tasks. When all tasks are
- * of this form, consider using a pool constructed in <em>asyncMode</em>.
- *
- * <p>ForkJoinTasks are {@code Serializable}, which enables them to be
- * used in extensions such as remote execution frameworks. It is
- * sensible to serialize tasks only before or after, but not during,
- * execution. Serialization is not relied on during execution itself.

-         * In essence by offering this method, we ask users only about
-         * tradeoffs in overhead vs expected throughput and its
-         * variance, rather than how finely to partition tasks.
-         *
-         * In a steady state strict (tree-structured) computation,
-         * each thread makes available for stealing enough tasks for
-         * other threads to remain active. Inductively, if all threads
-         * play by the same rules, each thread should make available
-         * only a constant number of tasks.
-         *
-         * The minimum useful constant is just 1. But using a value of
-         * 1 would require immediate replenishment upon each steal to
-         * maintain enough tasks, which is infeasible.  Further,
-         * partitionings/granularities of offered tasks should
-         * minimize steal rates, which in general means that threads
-         * nearer the top of computation tree should generate more
-         * than those nearer the bottom. In perfect steady state, each
-         * thread is at approximately the same level of computation
-         * tree. However, producing extra tasks amortizes the
-         * uncertainty of progress and diffusion assumptions.
-         *
-         * So, users will want to use values larger, but not much
-         * larger than 1 to both smooth over transient shortages and
-         * hedge against uneven progress; as traded off against the
-         * cost of extra task overhead. We leave the user to pick a
-         * threshold value to compare with the results of this call to
-         * guide decisions, but recommend values such as 3.
-         *
-         * When all threads are active, it is on average OK to
-         * estimate surplus strictly locally. In steady-state, if one
-         * thread is maintaining say 2 surplus tasks, then so are
-         * others. So we can just use estimated queue length.
-         * However, this strategy alone leads to serious mis-estimates
-         * in some non-steady-state conditions (ramp-up, ramp-down,
-         * other stalls). We can detect many of these by further
-         * considering the number of "idle" threads, that are known to

-/**
- * A recursive resultless {@link ForkJoinTask}.  This class
- * establishes conventions to parameterize resultless actions as
- * {@code Void} {@code ForkJoinTask}s. Because {@code null} is the
- * only valid value of type {@code Void}, methods such as {@code join}
- * always return {@code null} upon completion.
- *
- * <p><b>Sample Usages.</b> Here is a simple but complete ForkJoin
- * sort that sorts a given {@code long[]} array:
- *
- *  <pre> {@code
- * static class SortTask extends RecursiveAction {
- *   final long[] array; final int lo, hi;
- *   SortTask(long[] array, int lo, int hi) {
- *     this.array = array; this.lo = lo; this.hi = hi;
- *   }
- *   SortTask(long[] array) { this(array, 0, array.length); }
- *   protected void compute() {
- *     if (hi - lo < THRESHOLD)
- *       sortSequentially(lo, hi);
- *     else {
- *       int mid = (lo + hi) >>> 1;
- *       invokeAll(new SortTask(array, lo, mid),
- *                 new SortTask(array, mid, hi));
- *       merge(lo, mid, hi);
- *     }
- *   }
- *   // implementation details follow:
- *   final static int THRESHOLD = 1000;
- *   void sortSequentially(int lo, int hi) {
- *     Arrays.sort(array, lo, hi);
- *   }
- *   void merge(int lo, int mid, int hi) {
- *     long[] buf = Arrays.copyOfRange(array, lo, mid);
- *     for (int i = 0, j = lo, k = mid; i < buf.length; j++)
- *       array[j] = (k == hi || buf[i] < array[k]) ?
- *         buf[i++] : array[k++];
- *   }
- * }}</pre>
- *
- * You could then sort {@code anArray} by creating {@code new
- * SortTask(anArray)} and invoking it in a ForkJoinPool.  As a more
- * concrete simple example, the following task increments each element
- * of an array:
- *  <pre> {@code
- * class IncrementTask extends RecursiveAction {
- *   final long[] array; final int lo, hi;
- *   IncrementTask(long[] array, int lo, int hi) {
- *     this.array = array; this.lo = lo; this.hi = hi;
- *   }
- *   protected void compute() {
- *     if (hi - lo < THRESHOLD) {
- *       for (int i = lo; i < hi; ++i)
- *         array[i]++;
- *     }
- *     else {
- *       int mid = (lo + hi) >>> 1;
- *       invokeAll(new IncrementTask(array, lo, mid),
- *                 new IncrementTask(array, mid, hi));
- *     }
- *   }
- * }}</pre>
- *
- * <p>The following example illustrates some refinements and idioms
- * that may lead to better performance: RecursiveActions need not be
- * fully recursive, so long as they maintain the basic
- * divide-and-conquer approach. Here is a class that sums the squares
- * of each element of a double array, by subdividing out only the
- * right-hand-sides of repeated divisions by two, and keeping track of
- * them with a chain of {@code next} references. It uses a dynamic
- * threshold based on method {@code getSurplusQueuedTaskCount}, but
- * counterbalances potential excess partitioning by directly
- * performing leaf actions on unstolen tasks rather than further
- * subdividing.
- *
- *  <pre> {@code
- * double sumOfSquares(ForkJoinPool pool, double[] array) {
- *   int n = array.length;
- *   Applyer a = new Applyer(array, 0, n, null);
- *   pool.invoke(a);
- *   return a.result;
- * }
- *
- * class Applyer extends RecursiveAction {
- *   final double[] array;
- *   final int lo, hi;
- *   double result;
- *   Applyer next; // keeps track of right-hand-side tasks
- *   Applyer(double[] array, int lo, int hi, Applyer next) {
- *     this.array = array; this.lo = lo; this.hi = hi;
- *     this.next = next;
- *   }
- *
- *   double atLeaf(int l, int h) {
- *     double sum = 0;
- *     for (int i = l; i < h; ++i) // perform leftmost base step
- *       sum += array[i] * array[i];
- *     return sum;
- *   }
- *
- *   protected void compute() {
- *     int l = lo;
- *     int h = hi;
- *     Applyer right = null;
- *     while (h - l > 1 && getSurplusQueuedTaskCount() <= 3) {
- *        int mid = (l + h) >>> 1;
- *        right = new Applyer(array, mid, h, right);
- *        right.fork();
- *        h = mid;
- *     }
- *     double sum = atLeaf(l, h);
