Treffer: Comparison of concurrency frameworks for the Java virtual machine

Due to Multi-core CPUs, concurrent programming is increasingly important when developing responsive and scalable applications. The programming language Java provides low-level building blocks such as threads and monitors. Multiple frameworks provide higher abstractions for concurrent programming and enable alternative concurrency paradigms on the Java virtual machine. This thesis provides a survey of such frameworks and their appropriate use cases. The thesis introduces the most relevant frameworks in more detail and evaluates their use in different concurrent applications.
