From the publisher

Master the principles to make applications robust, scalable and responsive

Key Features

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

Book 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

Separate the thread management from the rest of the application with the Executor component

Execute phased-based tasks in an efficient way with the Phaser components

Solve problems using a parallelized version of the divide and conquer paradigm with the Fork / Join framework

Find out how to use parallel Streams and Reactive Streams

Implement the "map and reduce" and "map and collect" programming models

Control the concurrent data structures and synchronization mechanisms provided by the Java Concurrency API

Implement efficient solutions for some actual problems such as data mining, machine learning, and more

Who This Book Is For
This book is for competent Java developers who have basic understanding of concurrency, but knowledge of effective implementation of concurrent programs or usage of streams for making processes more efficient is not required

Book Conditions Explained

Biblio’s Book Conditions

As New

The book is pristine and free of any defects, in the same condition as when it was first newly published.

Fine (F)

A book in fine condition exhibits no flaws. A fine condition book closely approaches As New condition, but may lack the crispness of an uncirculated, unopened volume.

Near Fine (NrFine or NF)

Almost perfect, but not quite fine. Any defect outside of shelf-wear should be noted.

Very Good (VG)

A used book that does show some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Very good items should not have writing or highlighting.

Good (G or Gd.)

The average used and worn book that has all pages or leaves present. ‘Good’ items often include writing and highlighting and may be ex-library. Any defects should be noted. The oft-repeated aphorism in the book collecting world is “good isn’t very good.”

Fair

It is best to assume that a “fair” book is in rough shape but still readable.

Poor (P)

A book with significant wear and faults. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. Any missing pages must be specifically noted.
