Java Threads | CMPR.X423
The first few lectures will provide the "what" and "how" of threads and threads programming. While initial discussion will include refreshers for those who know the basics, seasoned thread developers will find ample new material in these lectures; the concurrency model in the most recent Java Development Kit (JDK) has been enhanced significantly.
In the following few lectures, students will dive into the concurrency model. You will study synchronizer objects, thread management API classes, concurrent data structures and atomic variables. These lectures will lay out the application of the concurrency model and warn against pitfalls of incorrect uses of these objects.
Advanced topics such as applications of the concurrency model will be covered in later lectures. You will learn how to develop your own thread-safe data-structures and be able to apply the knowledge in a comprehensive application that integrates all the material covered in the class.
