Concurrent Programming with the Disruptor

The Disruptor is an award-winning open source concurrent programming framework developed by LMAX, a financial exchange based in London. Although it is currently fashionable to talk about using languages or frameworks to hide concurrent programming, the Disruptor provides a way to do quite the opposite—to enable developers to think about how to parallelize their architecture in a straightforward and easy-to-code fashion.

This presentation includes diagrams that demonstrate how to dissect a problem in such a way that you can identify which parts can run in parallel and how to manage dependencies between them. It shows how to translate this into an implementation with the Disruptor.
