Much of what there is to learn about programming with Java threads hasn’t changed dramatically over the evolution of the Java platform, but it has changed incrementally. In this Java threads primer, ...

Concurrency bug detection is a critical area in the development of multithreaded programmes, where errors arising from simultaneous thread execution can lead to unpredictable and often catastrophic ...

Concurrency adds complexity for which the industry lacks appropriate tools, and the problem has grown to the point where errors can creep into designs with no easy or consistent way to detect them. In ...

Writing correct concurrent programs is harder than writing sequential ones. This is because the set of potential risks and failure modes is larger - anything that can go wrong in a sequential program ...

Understanding the intended and unintended interactions between hardware and software components is changing as architectures become more heterogeneous and interconnect topologies get more complicated.

The ability to execute code in parallel is crucial in a wide variety of scenarios. Concurrent programming is a key asset for web servers, producer/consumer models, batch number-crunching and pretty ...

Virtual threads, revealed in Java's Project Loom and generally available with the Java 21 LTS, promise unparalleled scalability, simplified asynchronous coding and more efficient resource utilization.
