Title: Project Loom: Advanced concurrency for fun and profit Abstract: Project Loom, an OpenJDK project, is "intended to explore, incubate and deliver Java VM features and APIs built on top of them for the purpose of supporting easy-to-use, high-throughput lightweight concurrency and new programming models on the Java platform." These feature include Lightweight Threads, delimited continuations, and tail-call elimination. The speaker, a Project Loom team member, will describe the project in depth, in particular the gnarly details of how coroutine and continuation scheduling mechanism works, and a new feature, Scoped Locals. Recording me on audio and/or video: I'm cool with that. Bio: Andrew Haley is a Distinguished Engineer at Red Hat. He leads the Java team there, the OpenJDK 8 and 11 Updates projects and was a co-author of the 64-bit OpenJDK ARM port. -- Andrew Haley (he/him) Java Platform Lead Engineer Red Hat UK Ltd. <https://www.redhat.com> https://keybase.io/andrewhaley EAC8 43EB D3EF DB98 CC77 2FAD A5CD 6035 332F A671
