GPars: Groovy Parallelism for Java
0 likes1,527 views
GPars is a concurrency and parallelism toolkit for the JVM. Founded on java.util.concurrent, it extends it with additional models of concurrency and parallelism, e.g. dataflow, CSP, actors, agents. Although GPars requires Groovy to run it is a toolkit usable from Java as well as Groovy codes. This was presented at DevoxxUK 2013 2013-03-27T15:50

- 4. Introduction
- 5. Concurrency ■ A technique for doing lots of little bits of work, one at a time, and then leaving them for later. ■ Co-routines.
- 6. Concurrency ■ Concurrency is also a technique for simulating parallelism on a uni-processor. ■ Time-division multiplexing.
- 7. Concurrency ■ Locks, semaphores, monitors all introduced to manage shared mutable memory in the presence of concurrency. ■ Operating systems techniques.
- 8. Parallelism ■ Having more than one thing happening at the same time: multiple processors or cores working on a single program at the same time. ■ The only reason for using parallelism is to make computations take less time.
- 13. Observation ■ Squirrels use locks when managing their food resources.
- 14. Some Interaction
- 15. Question ■ Who is interested in harnessing parallelism for performance improvement?
- 16. Question ■ Who uses synchronized in Java?
- 17. Question ■ Who uses synchronized in Java? You are doing it wrong.
- 18. Question (with subsidiaries) ■ Who uses explicit locks in Java? ■ Who is not using java.util.concurrent? ■ Who is using java.util.concurrent?
- 19. Question (with subsidiaries) ■ Who uses explicit locks in Java? ■ Who is not using java.util.concurrent? ■ Who is using java.util.concurrent? You are definitely doing it wrong.
- 20. Rationale ■ The purpose of locks is to prevent parallelism. ■ Locks prevent performance improvement.
- 21. Consequence ■ Squirrels deny parallelism of consumption. ■ Squirrels deny performance improvement.
- 22. Being Positive
- 23. Forward Looking Can Java 8 make things better?
- 24. Java 8 Streams ■ Internal rather than external iteration. ■ Functional programming approaches. ■ Threads as infrastructure. This is the real “biggy”, programmers do not explicitly manage threads.
