GUI-concurrency-prime-finder

This project provides a user-friendly Java application equipped with a graphical user interface (GUI) for efficiently discovering prime numbers within a collection of text files. The program employs a robust producer-consumer pattern, leveraging multiple threads for concurrent file processing.

Features:

Graphical User Interface:

• Uses Swing to provide a user-friendly interface.
• Allows users to dynamically adjust the number of consumer threads via buttons.
• Displays real-time information about file processing progress and found prime numbers.

Producer and Consumer Threads:

• A producer thread generates file names and places them in a queue for processing.
• Consumer threads process files to find prime numbers, updating the GUI with relevant information.

Dynamic Thread Handling:

• Users can increase or decrease the number of consumer threads as needed.
• The application dynamically adjusts the thread count in real-time.

GUI Statistics:

• Shows the total number of processed files.
• Reports the smallest and largest prime numbers found during processing.

Usage Instructions:

1. Clone the repository locally.
2. Unzip the "rand_files" directory in its current location.
3. Open the project in a compatible Java development environment.
4. Run the VentanaPrincipal class to launch the application.
5. Use the "+" and "-" buttons to adjust the number of consumer threads.
6. Observe how the GUI displays real-time information about file processing progress and results.
