With parallel computing, you can leverage multiple compute resources to tackle larger problems in a shorter amount of time. In this course, the second in the Parallel and Concurrent Programming with Java series, take a deeper dive into the key mechanisms for writing concurrent and parallel programs. Instructors Olivia and Barron Stone make these (often abstract) concepts down-to-earth, demonstrating key ideas using common kitchen activities. Learn all about synchronization, thread pools, asynchronous tasks, evaluating parallel performance, designing parallel programs, and more. Upon wrapping up this course, you'll have a solid understanding of how to parallelize a sequential program.

Topics include:

Using a condition variable

Using a semaphore

Preventing a race condition

Use cases for a Barrier vs. a CountDownLatch

Drawing a directed acyclic graph

Using a future

Steps in a divide-and-conquer algorithm

Evaluating parallel performance

Designing parallel programs
