Parallel-lazy Performance: Java 8 vs Scala vs GS Collections

Bookmarks
44:26

Summary

Sponsored by Goldman Sachs. Java 8 has Streams, Scala has parallel collections, and GS Collections has ParallelIterables. Since we use parallelism to achieve better performance, it's interesting to ask: how well do they perform? We'll look at how these three APIs work with a critical eye toward performance. We'll also look at common performance pitfalls.

Bio

He has worked at Goldman Sachs for 9 years on several teams focusing on application development before moving to the JVM Architecture team to focus on framework development.
