GParallelizer - parallelize your Groovy enjoyment
Abstract
Low-level concurrency handling is usually hard to get right. And it's not much fun either. In this hands-on session we will go through the concurrency options that GParallelizer library, an open-source concurrency library for Groovy, gives to your Groovy applications. We'll cover asynchronous collection processing, actors and other concepts, which aim to make your Groovy code concurrent with little effort.
We'll create and show code examples in Groovy illustrating the principles of actors, parallel arrays and dataflow concurrency, while leveraging the DSLs offered by GParallelizer.
