Martin Thompson of Lmax Disruptor - Lock-free Algorithms Workshop

I have reached out to the organizers of the event and got a 10% discount code is STMO14 which is applicable to the individual and group conference rate. The group rate already offers a discount for parties of 3 or more so this is a further discount on top of that. Folks should apply the discount rate on the main ticket page: http://tickets.reactconf.com (http://tickets.reactconf.com/)

This event is happening on two days 11/20 and 11/21, you can pick either.

It'a great event and hoping to see many of you there.

Candidates in this 1-day workshop will be introduced to a completely new way of thinking about concurrent programming. By taking a hardware up, rather than theory down, approach you'll learn how modern x86 hardware operates and how when you show sympathy for this hardware your algorithms will absolutely scream. In addition to learning the basic techniques of building high-performance data structures, a performance testing and profiling discipline will be introduced that is fundamental to working at the extremes of systems performance.

Understanding Mechanical Sympathy

Performance considerations on modern hardware

• How modern x86-64 hardware informs concurrent and high performance programming techniques
• Memory models for software and hardware Why contention of any type is the enemy and how to avoid it
• How we manage contention when we absolutely must How the JVM provides support for concurrent programs
• Profiling and performance testing
• Concurrent and High-performance

Algorithm Design Lock-free concurrency primitives

• Signalling state change
• Ensuring order
• Concurrent data structures
• Candidate Requirements

Experience of the Java Programming Language.

• A laptop capable of running 4 concurrent threads - This can be a dual core with hyperthreading enabled Java 5+, and Ant 1.8+ installed, plus IDE of your choice
  More advanced profiling techniques can be demonstrated if running Linux
