Summary - Java Concurrency

Asynchronous Programming Overview

Asynchronous Programming:

Runs multiple tasks simultaneously, boosting efficiency by overlapping tasks.

Synchronous vs. Asynchronous:

Synchronous: Tasks run sequentially, slowing down the program.

Asynchronous: Tasks overlap, improving performance.

Benefits:

Concurrency: Multiple tasks run together.

Non-blocking: Program continues other tasks during long operations.

Efficiency: Handles more tasks in less time.

Challenges:

Control Flow Complexity: Managing task order can be tricky.

Error Handling & Debugging: More complex in async code.

Processes vs. Threads:

Process: A program instance with its own resources.

Thread: A smaller unit within a process for concurrent operations.

Memory Components:

Stack: Temporary data storage.

Heap: Dynamic memory.

Text: Program code.

Data: Global/static variables.

Multithreading:

Enhances resource use by running multiple tasks in a single program.
