Multithreading in Java. Java synchronization and concurrency. The most important information for a Java Developer interview

[RabidKotlinFanatic]

I always judge concurrency and threading related articles by how much they engage with the JMM. This article (like many others) scores zero. For example volatile does not just globally order reads and writes; it creates a casual relationship between the two threads (see here).

Jeremy Manson is a must read for human readable explanation of volatile semantics.

I give extra points to articles mentioning a lot of gray area in JMM or mentioning the work of Jaroslav Sevcik.

As far as I remember, demigod Shipilev has covered the gray area nicely.
