Concurrent Computing IV: Java Threads

This is the first lecture of the last (i.e., fourth) part of a Concurrent Computing course. This part surveys briefly three systems: Java threads, Ada threads and Pthreads. This first lecture covers Java threads. The topics include (1) how to create and join Java threads, the synchronized keyword, reentrantlock, wait and notify/notifyall methods, and Java semaphores. At the end of this lecture, fast computation algorithms, actually O(log2(n)) algorithms, for computing Fibonacci numbers are discussed.

Hope these can help you learn Concurrent Computing.
