Course Description

This course is about the basics of multithreading and concurrent programming with some parallel concepts. In the 21th century this topic is becoming more and more popular with the advent of Big Data and Machine Learning. We will consider the low level concepts such as threads, synchronization and locks. The second chapter will be about concurrent library: of course there are built in classes and interfaces that we can use when implementing multithreaded applications. Then we develope little programs as show-cases for multithreading: the dining-philosopher problem or the students in library simulation. Last chapter is about parallel computing and MapReduce.
Section 1:

theory behind multithreading
pros and cons of multithreading

Section 2:

multithreading basics
Runnable and Thread
join, volatile, synchronized, wait and notify
producer-consumer model
locks, semaphores and executors

Section 3:

concurrent collections
latch, cyclic barrier and blocking queues
delay queue, priority queue and concurrent maps

Section 4:

multithreaded examples
dining philosophers problem
library application
miner game

Section 5:

what is parallel computing
parallel merge sort
parallel algorithms

Section 6:

Fork-Join framework
maximum finding in parallel manner

Section 7:

what is MapReduce
MapReduce and Fork-Join framework

Hi!
My name is Balazs Holczer. I am from Budapest, Hungary. I am qualified as a physicist. At the moment I am working as a simulation engineer at a multinational company. I have been interested in algorithms and data structures and its implementations especially in Java since university. Later on I got acquainted with machine learning techniques, artificial intelligence, numerical methods and recipes such as solving differential equations, linear algebra, interpolation and extrapolation. These things may prove to be very very important in several fields: software engineering, research and development or investment banking. I have a special addiction to quantitative models such as the Black-Scholes model, or the Merton-model.
Take a look at my website if you are interested in these topics!

The instructor is knowledgeable as well as experienced. This course provides the In-depth understanding of multithreading and an ideal coding practice.I would strongly recommend this course to everyone who wants to learn multithreading.

By Aekachai Intarnon

Step by steps, Instructor explains clearly especially the complex algorithms, instructor quite understand and teach easy in each steps,
by giving an example from easy to complex.

By Simon Mohoalali

Very in depth course. Thoroughly enjoying myself and learning a lot of internals.

I got more info, Thanks Bro

By Swapnil Puri

I am able to understand java threading easily.

By Umeshbs

I felt it would be good if there is a theory part explaining one after the other concepts. So that we can come to know for what existing disadvantage the new concepts came into picture. Its like a flow you know that why all the concepts are invented.

By Cyrus Haroon

This course is one of the best courses on Java multithreading from start to finish. This explain concisely the concept and gave a lot of good examples.
