Until Java 5.0 the limitations of Java's multi-threading system kept many developers from developing robust multi-threaded solutions. The introduction of the java.util.concurrent packages has changed all that, for the better. In this presentation Aidon will show you how to exploit these powerful new classes to enable your applications to run multi-threaded, effectively, and efficiently, no matter how many processors it runs on, or how many cores a processor has.
This intermediate/advanced session will address the various types of inter-thread synchronization schemes and classes. The new java.util.concurent packages and subpackages will be discussed, with special attention given to semaphores, locks, barriers, thread pools, executors, queues, and count-down latches. Atomic variables will also be covered. Previous programming experience with Java 1.4 (or prior) multi-threading, or attendance at "Taking Advantage of Multi-Threading in Java" is strongly suggested as a pre-requisite to attending this session.
