public @Interface CacheLinePad

Annotations

@Retention:RUNTIME
@Target:FIELD

Imports

java.lang.annotation.ElementType, .Retention, .RetentionPolicy, .Target

When this annotation is used on a field, automatic cache-line-sized padding will be inserted around the field. This is useful in multi-threaded algorithms to avoid cache line false sharing. The annotation defaults to padding after the field, but can be changed to before or both before and after. It can be applied to both mapped object fields and POJO primitive fields.
