The short answer is that it is designed around Ahmdahl's law (effective parallelization of work) as opposed to Moore's law (waiting for hardware with a faster clock rate). Almost every CPU powering desktops, laptops, and servers is now at least dual core, and the trend is rapidly expanding. The days of the frequency race are essentially over. So, now software must adapt to tap into the power of the hardware of today and tomorrow.
You may have heard that AS7 Final has been released! . I plan to say a lot about this, but before I do, I wanted to call attention to the many heroes whose contributions made this monumental release possible.
You might have heard the news: JBoss AS 7 is out :) What does it mean from an Hibernate user perspective?
I've spent some time recently working on tutorials and quickstarts for JBoss AS 7, as well as an archetype for creating your own Java EE 6 project for JBoss AS 7. Check it out!
I am happy to announce that last week we officially kicked off the beta stream for AS7. This will be a very rapid biweekly release schedule up until we hit CR. So expect to see a lot coming from us very quickly.
We just recently released new JBossAS7.0.0.Beta1 (great work guys!):
Congratulations to the whole AS team on the release of version 6! JBoss AS 6 is a Java EE 6 compliant application server, so it includes built-in support for many of the technologies we talk about here: CDI, JPA 2, Bean Validation, EJB 3.1, JSF 2.0, Servlets 3.0, along with many major enhancements in other areas.
