Create a class named STUDENT, that holds the student’s GPA (float value between 2.0 to 4.0), AGE (integer value between 18 to 30), and ID (unique integer value per student). For each of the following versions, calculate (using Java.Time or the Java API you find appropriate) how long each version takes in seconds. • Sequential version (Name this file as Q1_SeqV.java): o Create a list of 50,000 students with randomly generated GPAs, randomly generated Ages, and sequential IDs. o After creating the list, your program calculates and prints the average GPA and average AGE. • Parallel version 1 (Name this file as Q1_PLV1.java): o Repeat the sequential version using two threads along with the main thread. o Each thread creates a list of 25,000 students with randomly generated GPAs, randomly generated Ages, and sequential IDs. o Each of the two threads then calculates the average GPA and AGE (after creating the lists). o The two threads work in parallel. o The main thread waits for the two threads to finish and then calculates and prints the final average GPA and AGE from what is reported by the individual threads. • Parallel version 2 (Name this file as Q1_PLV2.java): o Repeat the Parallel version1 task using five threads (each is working on 10000 students) along with the main thread.
To measure the time your computer takes to complete a certain task: • Read and store the current time (t1) before you start the task (e.g., before creating the lists), • After the task (e.g., after calculating the average), read and store the current time (t2). • The time it takes your computer to complete the task is then: t2 – t1. Question2 (Sorting): In this question, we need to divide, sort, and merge a list of Employees using the multithreading framework. Create a class named EMPLOYEE that holds the employee’s ID (integer value of unique value) and salary (integer value). Step1: The main thread creates a list of 10,000 Employees with sequential IDs (1 to 10,000 to keep them unique) and randomly generated salaries (between 1500 to 4000); name this list EmpList.
Step2: Split the generated list EmpList into two lists of equal length: List1, and List2. Step3: Create two threads; each thread should sort the corresponding list (thread1 sorts List1, and thread2 sorts List2) ascendingly with respect to the salary. Step4: The main thread then waits for the two threads, then merge the two sorted sublists (List1 and List2) into the main list (EmpList) ascendingly with respect to the salary. Submission: 1.

Introduction
In modern computing, efficient processing of large data sets is crucial for performance-driven applications. The Java programming language provides extensive support for multithreading, allowing concurrent execution of tasks. This document will detail the implementation of a multithreading experiment in Java that compares the efficiency of sequential and parallel processing for calculating the average grade point average (GPA) and age of students. The Java classes designed to achieve this will be introduced and explained, followed by time measurements for each approach.
The STUDENT Class
The core functionality revolves around a `STUDENT` class which holds the attributes of a student: GPA, age, and ID. The attributes are defined as follows:
```java
public class STUDENT {
private float GPA; // GPA should be between 2.0 to 4.0
private int age; // Age should be between 18 to 30
private int ID; // Unique ID for each student
// Constructor and Getters/Setters not shown for brevity
}
```
Sequential Version (Q1_SeqV.java)
In the sequential version, we create a list of 50,000 `STUDENT` objects and then compute the average GPA and age. This is straightforward, as each operation occurs in a linear manner.
```java
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Random;
public class Q1_SeqV {
public static void main(String[] args) {
long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
List
Random random = new Random();
for (int i = 0; i < 50000; i++) {
float gpa = 2.0f + random.nextFloat() * 2.0f; // Random GPA between 2.0 to 4.0
int age = 18 + random.nextInt(13); // Random age between 18 and 30
students.add(new STUDENT(gpa, age, i));
}
double averageGPA = students.stream().mapToDouble(STUDENT::getGPA).average().orElse(0);
double averageAge = students.stream().mapToInt(STUDENT::getAge).average().orElse(0);
long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
System.out.println("Average GPA: " + averageGPA);
System.out.println("Average Age: " + averageAge);
System.out.println("Time taken: " + (endTime - startTime) + " milliseconds");
}
}
```
Parallel Version 1 (Q1_PLV1.java)
We can enhance performance by leveraging multithreading. In this version, two threads will be used, each creating a subset of student data:
```java
class StudentThread extends Thread {
private List
public StudentThread(List
this.studentList = studentList;
}
@Override
public void run() {
// Similar list creation logic and compute average GPA/Age
}
}
// Main function where threads are initiated
public class Q1_PLV1 {
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
// Start Time Recording
long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
List
List
// (Fill these lists similar to the sequential version using two threads)
StudentThread t1 = new StudentThread(students1);
StudentThread t2 = new StudentThread(students2);
t1.start();
t2.start();
t1.join();
t2.join();
// Combine averages and print output
}
}
```
Parallel Version 2 (Q1_PLV2.java)
In this version, the workload is divided among five threads, improving parallelism:
```java
class StudentThreadExtended extends Thread {
private List
public StudentThreadExtended(List
this.studentList = studentList;
}
@Override
public void run() {
// Similar to previous logic but with 10,000 students per thread
}
}
// Main function
public class Q1_PLV2 {
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
// Similar logic to create 5 threads and each handling 10,000 students
// Logic for average calculation and output
}
}
```
Measuring Execution Time
The time taken by each implementation is tracked by capturing the current time before starting the parameterized computations and after they are complete. The time difference gives us a clear measurement of performance.
Conclusion
This experiment aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Java's multithreading capabilities through practical application. The sequential approach serves as a baseline against which the efficiency of parallel execution can be measured. These variations illustrate not only the concept of splitting tasks but also the importance of thread management.

In conclusion, the choice between sequential and parallel processing should depend on the requirements of the application including overall system resources, the complexity of task division, and the desired performance improvements.
