Title :
Clojure for Number Crunching on Multicore Machines
Author :
Kalin, Martin ; Miller, David
Abstract :
Clojure is a Lisp language designed to run on a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and interoperate automatically with all Java libraries. However, compared to Java, Clojure has a concurrency API that encourages programmers to take advantage of multicore architectures through multithreading, but Clojure doesn´t burden programmers with low-level thread-coordination tasks.
