- The clear, practical guide to Java threads and concurrency
- Proven design patterns and extensive code library
- Expert techniques for optimizing networked/distributed applications
- Avoiding deadlocks, race conditions, and synchronization problems
Threading, concurrency, and beyond: Your crystal-clear Java performance guide and code library!
Threading and concurrency are crucial to building high-performance Java applications — but they have a reputation for complexity. High-Performance Java Computing thoroughly demystifies them, helping developers leverage threading and concurrency to solve a wide variety of performance problems — especially in networked, distributed applications. This book delivers practical solutions, proven design patterns, and a rigorously tested code library: everything you need to build optimized Java software for technical, business, and e-Commerce applications. Coverage includes:
- Java 2 Threads classes: daemon threads, thread control, scheduling, and more
- Solving the key problems of parallelism: deadlocks, race conditions, and synchronization
- Advanced techniques for optimizing concurrent code
- Java monitors, parallelizing loops, and parallel execution of subroutines in shared memory
- New design patterns for distributed application development
There's never been a more accessible, practical guide to Java multi-threading, concurrency, and other high-performance techniques. When performance really matters, turn to High-Performance Java Computing — and find the solution you're searching for!

Format:Paperback
This book is one of the best books for the more difficult Java projects I've ever seen (and I own more than 30 Java books). It touches subjects most other books don't dare touching, like shared memory, kernel threads, multi-processor systems, thread priorities in practice, paralellizing algorithms, etc. It also describes a Chore pattern used to distribute work in a single process, an alternative to using 'flat' threads.
The book contains graphs displaying the performance of different alternatives when appropriate, making this a very practical book when optimizing a design of a threaded or multi-process application for performance.
This book is a must-have for those developing distributed Java applications and frameworks, and very useful for those developing threaded applications.

Fairly good

Fairly good
The author first talks about the foundation of efficieny, scalability, parallelism..... etc.
Second part is the discussion of multithreading. The problems like race conditions, mutual exclusion, thread monitors, parallelizing loops and synchronization are discussed in great detail.
Some algorithms for increasing efficiency and performance diagrams are provided throughout the book to give reader a clear view in understanding the topics.
The last part is about network programming which talk about socket and simple messaging architecture.
The strength of this book over the other java performance tuning book is that it integrates some algorithms into the code(major factor) to increase performance rather than just talks about in preventing the use of certain low performance java code(minor factor).
However, the book seems losing the way in targeting audience. The content of the book doesn't specific to any field.
