Presentation: "Data parallelism in Java"

Track: CONCURRENCY & INTEGRITY / Time: Tuesday 11:30 - 12:30 / Location: Filuren, Musikhuset

In JDK 5.0, the Java platform libraries were upgraded to facilitate coarse-grained parallelism; these mechanisms facilitated the creation of multi-threaded server applications that partitioned work along task-level boundaries.  As Moore's Law continues to give us more and more cores, applications may seek to extract finer-grained parallelism.  This talk will explore language and library improvements in JDK 7 and beyond that facilitate the exploitation of data-level parallelism in the Java language and other languages running on the JVM.
 
Keywords: Parallelism, fork join, recursive decomposition, Java

Target audience: Anyone who wants to make their applications scale better on multicore systems
