Key benefits

Implement concurrent applications using the Java 9 Concurrency API and its new components

Improve the performance of your applications and process more data at the same time, taking advantage of all of your resources

Construct real-world examples related to machine learning, data mining, natural language processing, and more

Description

Concurrency programming allows several large tasks to be divided into smaller sub-tasks, which are further processed as individual tasks that run in parallel. Java 9 includes a comprehensive API with lots of ready-to-use components for easily implementing powerful concurrency applications, but with high flexibility so you can adapt these components to your needs. The book starts with a full description of the design principles of concurrent applications and explains how to parallelize a sequential algorithm. You will then be introduced to Threads and Runnables, which are an integral part of Java 9's concurrency API. You will see how to use all the components of the Java concurrency API, from the basics to the most advanced techniques, and will implement them in powerful real-world concurrency applications. The book ends with a detailed description of the tools and techniques you can use to test a concurrent Java application, along with a brief insight into other concurrency mechanisms in JVM.

What you will learn

Master the principles that every concurrent application must follow

See how to parallelize a sequential algorithm to obtain better performance without data inconsistencies and deadlocks

Get the most from the Java Concurrency API components

Good quality

Good book but expecting some more areas to cover, Streams concepts are covered very nicely

I have no complaints about the quality or scope of the work, but I feel it could do with more focussed examples that illustrate different aspects of the Java API better. Every topic is only briefly introduced and then followed by a 10-20 page example where you have to spend time and energy to understand the coding problem rather than the specific concurrency tool being discussed. I think it would have been better to have more half-page snippets showcasing key behaviours instead.Brian Goetz's Java Concurrency in Practice provides more focussed examples and is much better at discussing various trade offs between conccurrency options, alas it needs updating to Java 9.

Hard to follow due to incomplete code example. Some of the code examples were unable to open due to wrong format.
