如何尽可能地使10个线程同时开始工作

在多线程编程中，我们很难控制线程的具体启动时间，调用线程的Start()只是启动一个线程，使其处于就绪阶段，至于什么时候CPU开始执行线程Run方法，这是操作系统调度决定的，在理论上，如果有多个CPU，操作系统的调度可能使的多个线程真正同时开始，但是在单CPU的机器上，是没法做到多个线程真正同时启动的。我们只能尽可能地使得线程之间的启动间隔很短，模拟多个线程同时启动。下面这个程序模拟一个有10辆赛车参加的赛车比赛，通过使用CountDownLatch来控制10辆赛车尽可能地同时启动。

public class StartSimultaneously {
	
	private CountDownLatch startGate ;
	private CountDownLatch endGate ;
	
	private int count;
	
	public StartSimultaneously(int count)
	{
		this.count = count;
		this.startGate = new CountDownLatch(1);
		this.endGate = new CountDownLatch(count);
	}
	
	private class racingThread extends Thread
	{
		public void run()
		{
			try {
				startGate.await();
				System.out.println("Thread "+currentThread().getId()+ " start's time is :" + System.currentTimeMillis());
				Thread.sleep(6000);
			} catch (InterruptedException e) {
				// TODO Auto-generated catch block
				e.printStackTrace();
			}finally
			{
				endGate.countDown();
				System.out.println("Thread "+currentThread().getId()+ " end's time is :" + System.currentTimeMillis());
			}
		}
	}
	
	public void start() throws InterruptedException
	{
		for(int i = 0; i < count; i++)
		{
			new racingThread().start();
		}
		
		System.out.println("Thread "+Thread.currentThread().getId()+ " start's time is :" + System.currentTimeMillis());
		startGate.countDown();
		endGate.await();
		System.out.println("Thread "+Thread.currentThread().getId()+ " end's time is :" + System.currentTimeMillis());
	}

	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		try {
			new StartSimultaneously(10).start();
		} catch (InterruptedException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
}

  该程序的执行结果为：

Thread 1 start's time is :1304690067375
Thread 9 start's time is :1304690067375

 但是正如上面所说，这只是尽可能地使线程同时启动，随着代码中的count值的增大，各个线程的启动时间的偏差也越来越大，如果count为100，则执行的结果为：
