๐ก Java tip: Use parallelStream() with care. It's ideal for CPU-intensive tasks, not I/O operations.
โ
Good for CPU-bound computations, it uses the ForkJoinPool.commonPool() where the default parallelism equals the number of CPU cores:
list.parallelStream()
.map(this::complexComputation)
.collect(Collectors.toList());
โ ๏ธ The thread pool size is fixed to CPU cores and threads spend most of their time waiting for external data to arrive, and while one thread waits, other threads canโt step in.
list.parallelStream()
.map(this::IOOperations)
.collect(Collectors.toList());
