How will you improve the performance of an application by multi-threading in Java? 

In an environment with more than one CPU, we can parallelize the computation tasks on multiple CPUs. This leads to parallel processing of a bigger task that takes lesser time due to multiple threads dividing the work among themselves. One example is that if we have to process 1000 data files and calculate the sum of numbers in each file. If each file takes 5 minutes, then 1000 files will take 5000 minutes for processing.

But by using multi-threading we can process these files in 10 parallel threads. So each thread will take 100 files each. Since now work is happening in 10 parallel threads, the time taken will be around 500 minutes.

165 + Big Data and Artificial intelligence ( AI ) terms and terminology Glossary

  Latest and most comprehensive big data/artificial intelligence terms & terminology in English (highly recommended for collection) for years 2021 and 2022   A  1.  Apache Kafka:  named after the Czech writer Kafka, used to build real-time data pipelines and streaming media applications. The reason it is so popular is that it can store, manage, and process data streams in a fault-tolerant manner, and it is said to be very "fast". Given that the social network environment involves a lot of data stream processing, Kafka is currently very popular.
