Kirks eget abstract for foredraget:

 

“Both Intel and Microsoft have recently said that we, as developers, need to start delivering more concurrency in our applications. What does this mean? How did we get to this point?

In this talk, we will look at the trend towards more and more cores and and what this means for Java programmers. Can we expect that our Java applications will automatically take advantage of the extra processors, or will we need to become more aware of the hardware aspects of our system?

In this session, you will learn:

• What’s behind the trend towards concurrency;
• What developers must be prepared for with concurrency moving forward;
• What concurrency looked like in earlier JDKs, and how it’s evolved today;
• How you can tell if you have a performance bottleneck because of concurrency.
