Mastering Concurrency Programming with Java 9 - Second Edition: Fast, reactive and parallel application development

Master the principles to make applications robust, scalable and responsive

• 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

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

• 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
