Speaker: Kirk Pepperdine
Both Intel and Microsoft have recently said that we, as developers, need
to start delivering more concurrency in our applications. The biggest
obstacle to delivering more concurrency is the need to share data
between threads.
In this talk we will explore recent advanced in the JVM
that can help us reduce the impact the protecting data. We will also
explore up and coming techniques that can help us meet the challenge of
delivering more concurrency in our own applications.
