Parallel Programming in Go & Java
Group Members
Project Description
This project will look at the performance difference between Go and Java using a classic matrix multiplication algorithm. It will present how to do parallel program in each language and show the different syntax codes that's using the similar algorithm. We will gather the results of running the code and show the graphical result to clearly show to performance difference between the two programming language. It will also briefly cover the history of each language, key term of parallel programming, look at the fundamental difference between two languages to see what may have caused the performance difference.

What's GO Language?
Go lang is a Fast and Pretty language.
Go language is a compiler language which makes its execution fast. Go is faster than Python & JavaScript. In some cases, Go may be faster than Java or as fast as Java.
Go also has a relatively easy syntax which makes it easy to learn and fast to develop.
Is Go Popular?
GO is used by Google, Youtube, Google Download Server, Uber replaced Node.JS to Go, Twitch's trance-coding process Go & C++.
What's Java Language?
Java is open source and Object-oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems in 1995. The founder is James Gosling. In 2010, Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems and owned Java's copyright.
Java is simple programming language, easy to learn, clean and easy to understand. This is because syntax of Java is based on C++ that has removed many confusing and rarely used functionality by user (e.g. operator overloading, explicit pointer, automatic garbage collection etc.)
Java is the platform independent language. Programs can run on several different types of computer as long as computer has a Java Runtime Environment(JRE) installed.
Parallel Programming in GO & Java
Parallelism and Concurrency
Rob Pike who is developer of Go language has defined parallelism and concurrency in his speech "Concurrency is not Parallelism":
Parallelism defined as
Parallelism is about doing lots of things at once.
Concurrency defined as
Concurrency is about dealing with lots of things at once.
Concurrency allows to execute multiple tasks in partial order or out of order. The executions must finished before the next execution can start. While, parallelism has simultaneous execution on a multicore per CPU.
If we combine two concepts:
Concurrency Concurrency + parallelism
(Single-Core CPU) (Multi-Core CPU)

Go language focuses on concurrency and parallelism by implementing its own Goroutine instead of regular threading. Goroutines uses the built-in scheduler to conduct the threads in behind and hide many complexity of thread management from the user to specify which function to run and execute them with “Go” command.
Java language can implement thread in two different methods. The first method is to create a class which extends the “Thread” class that gives the user to have control of the lifecycle of the thread. But Java language only allows single inheritance which prevents the thread from being extend other base class. The second method is using ‘Runnable’ interface. This method allows to user to extend other base class while still being run as a new thread. However, this method does not give user to control lifecycle of thread.
Java version 5.0 and later provides concurrency to simplify thread creation and processing. The "Executor" that implement by java.util.concurrent provides APIs for creating and processing new threads using reusable threads.
General Implementation Info
Before diving into the code, here are some things to know.
1. To Increase the accuracy, both Go & Java program will run in terminal using .sh script
2. To Increase the accuracy, both Go & Java program will run in the same environment (machine)
3. To run both program, 4096 * 4096 pre-generated Matrix with random values between 0 and 1000 will be used
You can create & download pre-generated matrix file in the following link https://onlinenumbertools.com/random-number-matrix
