Distributed Computing in Java 9

Overview of this book

Distributed computing is the concept with which a bigger computation process is accomplished by splitting it into multiple smaller logical activities and performed by diverse systems, resulting in maximized performance in lower infrastructure investment. This book will teach you how to improve the performance of traditional applications through the usage of parallelism and optimized resource utilization in Java 9. After a brief introduction to the fundamentals of distributed and parallel computing, the book moves on to explain different ways of communicating with remote systems/objects in a distributed architecture. You will learn about asynchronous messaging with enterprise integration and related patterns, and how to handle large amount of data using HPC and implement distributed computing for databases. Moving on, it explains how to deploy distributed applications on different cloud platforms and self-contained application development. You will also learn about big data technologies and understand how they contribute to distributed computing. The book concludes with the detailed coverage of testing, debugging, troubleshooting, and security aspects of distributed applications so the programs you build are robust, efficient, and secure.

Features of cloud computing


As discussed previously, cloud computing is a pay-per-usage model for empowering convenient, available, and on-demand access to resources such as networks, servers, storage, applications, and services over the network. Besides, it can be established quickly and demolished with nominal administrating effort or interaction with the cloud service provider.

The following are some of the important characteristics of a cloud architecture:

  • On-demand self-service: As an organization or an administrator of an organization, you can individually establish any of the previously discussed cloud environments without any support from the cloud service provider
  • Global network access: Cloud platforms are easily accessible by universal network access, and they are supported by any type of device or platform
  • Dynamic resource pooling: This is a great feature of a cloud environment wherein the provider's computing resources get shared between different customers, based on the demand for...
