8.6 Comparing Java's Concurrency Mechanisms

In this section

• 8.6.1 Locks and Synchronization in Java
  Explore Java's concurrency mechanisms, including synchronized methods/blocks, ReentrantLock, and Semaphore while uncovering the intricacies and challenges of manual synchronization.
• 8.6.2 The Java Memory Model
  Explore the Java Memory Model's role in concurrency, variable visibility, and ensuring synchronized access to shared data.
• 8.6.3 Using Concurrent Collections in Java
  Explore Java's concurrent collections, including ConcurrentHashMap, CopyOnWriteArrayList, and BlockingQueue, and how they offer thread-safe operations with considerations for coordination.
• 8.6.4 Comparison with Clojure's Approach
  Explore how Clojure's functional approach simplifies concurrent programming compared to Java's explicit locking mechanisms.
