TITLE: The Concurnas Programming Language



ABSTRACT:



We have at our disposal never before seen compute capability. CPU's are now multi-core, general purpose GPU computing has gone mainstream and compute is available on tap via the cloud. But leveraging this power with existing languages is a challenge. This comes at a time when the modern enterprise requires results to be delivered at an ever increasing pace. Languages like Python have grown in popularity due to their simplicity and focus on rapid results, but performance is lacking, conversely languages such as C++ and JVM languages like Java present excellent performance but are hard to master. We need a solution to these problems.



In this talk we explore Concurnas, a JVM language created for leveraging the power of modern CPU and GPU hardware. Concurnas is specifically designed for solving the concurrent, distributed and parallel programming problems faced by the modern enterprise. We learn how Concurnas’s unique simplified model of concurrent and GPU computing allows results to be rapidly delivered in a performant, scalable manner whilst allowing existing Java (or JVM language) code to be leveraged.
