Learn about the best practices for concurrency in Java to ensure your multi-threaded applications are efficient, synchronized, and error-free.

In this Java threads primer, Cameron Laird hits some of the high (and low) points of threads as a concurrent programming technique.

The thread gate pattern is an effective tool for controlling thread concurrency, but many developers are unfamiliar with it. Just as a traffic light can regulate the behavior of automobiles at an ...

Java was the first mainstream language to feature integrated support for thread-based concurrency, including a cross-platform memory model; threads are foundational to Javas model of concurrency.

Modern operating systems can support extraordinarily large volumes of users, but run into limitations with threads to support them due to CPU and memory constraints. Java historically has dealt with ...

Virtual threads, revealed in Java's Project Loom and generally available with the Java 21 LTS, promise unparalleled scalability, simplified asynchronous coding and more efficient resource utilization.

JDK 21's virtual threads are a major leap forward for Java's concurrency model. Previously, Java relied on OS threads, which were resource-heavy, limiting how many threads could run concurrently.

Value stream management involves people in the organization to examine workflows and other processes to ensure they are deriving the maximum value from their efforts while eliminating waste — of ...

The October update of Microsoft's Visual Studio Code (VS Code) for Java has arrived with lots of improvements in the code editing and debugging experience, thanks to support for the recently released ...
