• NetKernel: Moving Beyond Java’s Concurrency by Brian Sletten
  Despite Java's support for multi-threading and concurrency constructs, developing applications that fare well on modern, multi-CPU hardware can be difficult. Alternate environments like NetKernel might be an easier path to harnessing extra processing elements.

• Utilizing a Multi-Core System with the Actor Model by James Leigh   - [Clicks: 1]
  Demand for multi-core/multi-processor applications is growing, but developing for a multi-threaded application does not require a steep learning curve or an understanding of complicated edge cases. Learn how to develop efficient multi-threaded applications without using synchronized blocks.

• Creating a NotifyingBlockingThreadPoolExecutor by Amir Kirsh   - [Clicks: 4]
  Thread pools are easy enough to understand, but in practice, do they provide the appropriate behavior? Specifically, what should the pool do when its threads are all in use? What should the caller do? In this article, Amir Kirsh offers a design for a comprehensive approach to this problem.

• Query by Slice, Parallel Execute, and Join: A Thread Pool Pattern in Java by Binildas Christudas   - [Clicks: 34]
  Pagination is a much-needed feature; one that's harder than it looks. For large datasets, reading all results into memory is impractical, if not dangerous, but only fetching small chunks can make it difficult to apply business logic across all results. Binildas C. A. shows how to combine the database's ROWNUM function with Java SE 5's thread pools to create highly effective pagination.
