Real-Time Visualization of Java Synchronization Methods

One of the diffculties involved in teaching and learning multithreaded programming comes from the inability to determine how a program will execute based on the source code alone. Unlike single-threaded programs, a multithreaded environment makes it impossible to know the exact order in which statements will execute due to thread scheduling and communication between threads. This thesis describes a system intended to reduce this diffculty by collecting information about thread synchronization events during program execution and displaying them to the user
