With the advent of multi-core based High performance systems leading to PetaFlop Era, new concurrency mechanisms such as lock-free data structures for concurrent computation are being supported in mainstream languages like Java. This talk will provide an overview of different Concurrent mechanisms in Java.

The agenda for the talk is:

• Introduction
• Java VM concurrency
• Application concurrency
• Concurrent applications in Java
• Lock-free concurrent data structures
• Summary
