There is a continuing effort to keep Java's memory model (JMM) updated. Current efforts are focused on several areas to include:
- Shared memory concurrency
- JVM concurrency support
- JDK components
- Tools
Expected results of JMM-related engineering efforts are as follows:
- Improved formalization
- JVM voverage
- Extended scope
- C11/C++11 compatibility
- Implementation guidance
- Testing support
- Tool support
