Chapter 9 GUI Applications

Concurrency in Java 8 (lamda and parallel Stream)

Create worker threads using Runnable, Callable and use an ExecutorService to concurrently execute tasks

Identify potential threading problems among deadlock, starvation, livelock, and race conditions

Use synchronized keyword and java.util.concurrent.atomic package to control the order of thread execution

Use java.util.concurrent collections and classes including CyclicBarrier and CopyOnWriteArrayList

Use parallel Fork/Join Framework

Use parallel Streams including reduction, decomposition, merging processes, pipelines and performance

Use CompletableFuture to build asynchronous application, pipelining asynchronous tasks
