Code for book: Distributed Computing in Java 9: Leverage the latest features of Java 9 for distributed computing

Key Features

• Make the best of Java 9 features to write succinct code
• Handle large amounts of data using HPC
• Make use of AWS and Google App Engine along with Java to establish a powerful remote computation system

Book Description

Distributed computing is the concept with which a bigger computation process is accomplished by splitting it into multiple smaller logical activities and performed by diverse systems, resulting in maximized performance in lower infrastructure investment. This book will teach you how to improve the performance of traditional applications through the usage of parallelism and optimized resource utilization in Java 9.

After a brief introduction to the fundamentals of distributed and parallel computing, the book moves on to explain different ways of communicating with remote systems/objects in a distributed architecture. You will learn about asynchronous messaging with enterprise integration and related patterns, and how to handle large amount of data using HPC and implement distributed computing for databases.

Moving on, it explains how to deploy distributed applications on different cloud platforms and self-contained application development. You will also learn about big data technologies and understand how they contribute to distributed computing. The book concludes with the detailed coverage of testing, debugging, troubleshooting, and security aspects of distributed applications so the programs you build are robust, efficient, and secure.

What You Will Learn

• Understand the basic concepts of parallel and distributed computing/programming
• Achieve performance improvement using parallel processing, multithreading, concurrency, memory sharing, and hpc cluster computing
