February 23, 2010 @ 6:30pm - Concurrency & High Performance Reloaded (Special Meeting)

Directions: http://www.marriott.com/hotels/maps/travel/atlpc-atlanta-marriott-perimeter-center/

Description

The move from single to multi-core is a silent revolution. It has happened without Java developers taking much notice. Part of this is because Java developers have been writing multi-threaded applications for a long time. Even so, multi-core is a game changing development and with a 1000 core CPUs on the event horizon, it's one that we must adapt to if we are to remain competitive. In this talk we will explore some of the develop- ments that are taking place in the JVM, and in the JDK, to help us. We will also look at techniques we can use to improve the performance of our applications running on machines with 10s or even 100s of CPUs.

Thanks to GCA Technology and Sun for providing the speaker. Kirk will be in Atlanta as part of Sun's Extreme Learning Program, Learn More.

Purpose of the Atlanta Java User Group

The Atlanta Java Users Group (AJUG) is organized by Java Developers for Java Developers in order to:

• Deliver monthly technical and vendor presentations on the latest Java technologies.
• Support the needs of both newbies and experts through related Study Groups targeted at Java Certification and Java-OO architectural issues.
• Promote the advantages of Java as a development and deployment environment to the business and educational communities.
