Presentation: "Fine Grained Coordinated Parallelism in a Real World Application"
Time:
Tuesday 16:50 - 17:50
Location:
Salon A-B
Abstract:
For certain types of problems, there is no better solution than a highly tuned, shared-memory parallel algorithm. This talk will showcase code that achieves concurrency via lock free algorithms. We'll explore how complex aggregation can be performed using fine grained coordinated parallelism. To accomplish this goal, we'll discuss advanced data structures, like a brand new lock-free hashmap with interesting features such as concurrent resizing. By using some of Java's less commonly used API, such as AtomicFieldUpdaters, we'll demonstrate how a real world application can be written to not only work with a dozen cores, but be ready for a 1000.
There is a lot of angst about writing concurrent code. The message of this talk is one of courage and hope without leaning on some future language or technology. Writing concurrent code requires a different mindset. The approaches detailed in this talk will hopefully serve as an introduction that will strengthen the audience's resolve to explore multi-threaded programming.
