Recently, an article of mine appeared on the German site Heise Developer, and today the English translation was published on The H Developer. The article gives an introduction to the Java 7 ForkJoinPool and explains for which application scenarios it is particularly appealing. The article then picks two relevant scenarios from practice (map/reduce and actor scheduling) and compares the performance of the ForkJoinPool to the classic ThreadPoolExecutor. Happy reading!
