“Working with the Java 8 Parallel Streaming APIs”
This talk will cover programming with the new Java 8 Parallel Streaming APIs, including other related Java 8 features, such as Java’s implementation of higher order functions for streams and a bit of functional programming. It will also include comparisons with alternative approaches, demonstrating the ability of the recent Oracle JVMs to fully utilize modern multi-core processors. Finally, if time permits, a comparison will be made between the performance of the Oracle JVM and the performance of the Erlang VM in parallel processing situations.
