Presentation: Tweet"Data parallelism in Java"
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.

The success of the Java platform is powered by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which many people assume is tied to the Java programming language. However, the internal structure of the JVM is surprisingly NOT tied to the Java language, and is in fact quite suitable for many languages. This talk looks at how the design of the JVM is evolving to improve performance of all languages, including those that are quite unlike the Java language
