I am looking for a Dataflow / Concurrent Programming API for Java.
I know there's DataRush, but it's not free. What I'm interested in specifically is multicore data processing, and not distributed, which rules out MapReduce or Hadoop.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Rollo

[Akka](http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/1.3.1/java/dataflow.html) has dataflow capabilities. – thSoft Oct 26 '12 at 08:52

You might try gpars; it apparently has implementations of data flow variables and streams in Java even though it is geared towards providing concurrent programming goodies for Groovy.

Might try the upcoming fork/join library which will (hopefully) be in Java 7 as part of the JSR 166y update.

Does the built in Java concurrent package meet your needs? It's a very nice package, built in ThreadPools, CopyOnWriteCollections, Executors, Future. We use it to process large volumns of data in thread pools.

https://github.com/rfqu/df4j is simple but powerful dataflow library. If it lacks some desired features, they can be added easly. It can exploit java.concurrent.ExecutorService.
