Concurrent Patterns and Best Practices

A definitive guide to mastering and implementing concurrency patterns in your applicationsKey FeaturesBuild scalable apps with patterns in multithreading synchronization and functional programmingExplore the parallel programming and multithreading techniques to make the code run fasterEfficiently use the techniques outlined to build reliable applicationsBook DescriptionSelecting the correct concurrency architecture has a significant impact on the design and performance of your applications. This book explains how to leverage the different characteristics of parallel architecture to make your code faster and more efficient. To start with you'll understand the basic concurrency concepts and explore patterns around explicit locking lock free programming futures & actors. Then you'll get insights into different concurrency models and parallel algorithms and put them to practice in different scenarios to realize your application's true potential. We'll take you through multithreading design patterns such as master slave leader follower map-reduce and monitor also helping you to learn hands-on coding using these patterns. Once you've grasped all of this you'll move on to solving problems using synchronizer patterns. You'll discover the rationale for these patterns in distributed & parallel applications followed by studying how future composition immutability and the monadic flow help create more robust code. Toward the end of the book you'll learn about the actor paradigm and actor patterns - the message passing concurrency paradigm.What you will learnExplore parallel architecture Get acquainted with concurrency models Internalize design themes by implementing multithreading patterns Get insights into concurrent design patterns Discover design principles behind many java threading abstractions Work with functional concurrency patternsWho this book is forThis is a must-have guide for developers who want to learn patterns to build scalable and high-performing apps. It’s assumed that you already have a decent level of programming knowledge. About the Author Atul S. Khot is a self-taught programmer and has written software programmes in C and C++.
