StampedLock supports optimistic reads that only fall back to a full lock when a write conflict is detected. Lock-free programming requires careful algorithm design to avoid livelock. Lock-free programming must account for fairness so that threads are not perpetually starved. ForkJoinPool reduces contention for divide-and-conquer tasks by giving each worker its own deque of tasks. Hybrid approaches can be used when pure lock-free design is too complex or unnecessary.
