Integrating Groovy Concurrency with Java
Twin Cities Software Symposium: Spring
Minneapolis · March 12 - 14, 2010
About this Presentation
The Groovy language now provides substantial concurrency capabilities via the GPars library, including the ability to work with actors and dataflow concurrency. This talk shows how you can integrate these Groovy concurrency structures into your Java applications.
The GPars project offers developers new intuitive and safe ways to handle tasks concurrently, asynchronously, and distributed by utilizing the power of the Java platform and the flexibility of the Groovy language. With GPars, Java programs can transparently leverage multiple cores and even multiple systems by moving through a layer of Groovy code.
