Multithreading gives developers using the Java 2 platform a powerful tool for dramatically improving the responsiveness and performance of their programs on any platform, even those without inherent mutithreading support. Multithreaded Programming with Java Technology is the first complete guide to multithreaded development with the Java 2 platform. Multithreading experts Bil Lewis and Daniel J. Berg cover the underlying structures upon which threads can be built; thread construction; and thread lifecycles, including birth, life, death, and cancellation. Next, using extensive code examples, they cover everything developers need to know to make the most of multithreading, including:

• Thread scheduling models and synchronization--with solutions for complex, real-world synchronization problems

• Multithreaded program design for networked and Internet applications

• Thread-specific data: use and implementation

• Leveraging OS libraries to make Java technology-based multithreading more effective

• Optimizing thread performance and designing for SMP hardware
