Thanks to All Who Attended Über Conf
We're glad you were able to join us for Über Conf! Thanks to your participation, it was a great event! With so many new languages, frameworks, and tools emerging for the Java platform; Über Conf was a great opportunity to learn, network, and fill your head with ideas that will really make a difference in your projects.
We enjoyed this event so much that we are already looking forward to next year. Über Conf will be held again in June of 2011.
In case you missed it:
Come to the Ü for an Extreme Tech Experience
Join us for Über Conf 2010 taking place in beautiful Denver, CO June 14 - 17, 2010. Brought to you by the No Fluff Just Stuff Software Symposium Series, Über Conf will explore the ever evolving ecosystem of Java the Platform.
The Ü will offer over 100 technically focused sessions including hands on workshops centered around Architecture, Cloud, Security, Enterprise Java, Languages on the JVM, Build/Test, Mobility and Agility. The goal of Über Conf is a simple one: totally blow the minds of our attendees.
This is an exciting time of innovation and change. Java is not just a language. Java is a technology platform and ecosystem. Über Conf will educate developers and explore the powerful languages and tools which are changing the way we create software using the Java Platform.
» Technology Deep Dive
This is an exciting time of innovation and change in the Java space. Java is not just a language. Java is a technology platform. This is your opportunity to go beyond the basics and master critical skills.
» Agile Practices that Work
Software is a difficult industry with high rates of failure. To create winning teams, we embrace principles laid out by the Agile Manifesto. Speakers at Über Conf emphasize and present on topics such as: Test Driven Development, Continuous Integration, Code Quality Measurements, Code Smells, Team Building, and Customer Collaboration.
» Learn from the Best
Über Conf will bring together many of the industry's best project leaders, developers, authors, and trainers.
» Hands On Workshops - Included!
At Über Conf you will not just listen to lectures. You will have the opportunity to participate in workshops, get your hands dirty, and write code. No additional fee required!

by Cliff Click
Available core counts are going up, up, up! Intel is shipping quad-core chips; Sun’s Rock has (effectively) 64 CPUs and Azul’s hardware nearly a thousand cores. How do we use all those cores effectively? The JVM proper can directly make use of a small number of cores (JIT compilation, profiling), and garbage collection can use about 20 percent more cores than the application is using to make garbage--but this hardly gets us to four cores. Application servers and transactional—J2EE/bean--applications scale well with thread pools to about 40 or 60 CPUs, and then internal locking starts to limit scaling. Unless your application has embarrassingly parallel data (e.g. data mining; risk analysis; or, heaven forbid, Fortran-style weather-prediction), how can you use more CPUs to get more performance? How do you debug the million-line concurrent program?
