Presentation: "Java for heavy lifting"

Monday 10:45 - 11:30, Tutorial Room

Recent and ongoing Java Specification Requests (JSRs) from the Java Community Process are turning Java into a language well-suited for middleware and infrastructure development. This talk will primarily focus on JSR166, which will add a set of concurrency features to the next release of Java. This includes nonblocking synchronization primitives, more flexible locks and condition variables, thread pools, futures, high-performance concurrent queues and related data structures and utilities. The talk will also briefly describe related JSRs that revise the Java memory model, introduce process-like abstractions ("Isolates"), and support high-performance I/O.
