With the need for highly scalable J2EE applications in the enterprise environment, parallel processing of threads is required on multi-processor platforms. The memory requirements in the JVM heap for the processing of these threads and concurrent processing have caused to create performance and scalability bottlenecks in the deployment of these J2EE applications. This article explores the issue of synchronization of threads while accessing the memory within the JVM heap on a multi-processor platform for a J2EE application."


Something I REALLY need to read.
