This updated talk will dive you into disadvantages of locking, CAS operations, Java atomic variable classes and a couple of nonblocking algorithms: nonblocking stack and nonblocking queue. We will also talk about ABA problem. The talk is based on JCIP (§15) and TAoMP (§§ 5, 7, 10, 11). It will be interesting for Java programmers who have heard about CAS and lock-free, but who have no experience in writing non-blocking code.
