Multiprocessor systems have gone from being rare and expensive to being ubiquitous. As the hardware reality changes, so do the programs we want to write and so must the platform and libraries we rely on. In Java SE 7, the java.util.concurent package will grow to address the need to exploit finer-grained concurrency, in the form of the fork-join framework.
Brian Goetz discusses the difficulties of creating multithreaded programs correctly, incorrect synchronization, race conditions, deadlock, Software Transactional Memory, the history of concurrency, alternatives to threads, Erlang, Scala, and recommendations for concurrency in Java.
