Does Java Need Inline Types? What Project Valhalla Can Bring to Java
Inline(value) types are the key part of experimental project Valhalla which should bring new abilities to Java language. It's a story not only about performance, it's also a story about safety, abstraction,expressiveness, maintainability, etc. But on this session we will talk about performance. Which performance benefits inline types bring to Java and how we could exploit it.
What is the work you're doing today?
At Oracle, I'm on the Java performance team. I am not developing something new. I am not working on new features. We have joined different projects through time and are spending our effort just to be sure the performance is right. It could be small projects which take a week, just deal with some performance issues. And it could be a project done with our partners for years. We run benchmarks, we are checking performance, we are finding performance issues and we have recommendations for other teams. Right now, one project I'm working on for years is Project Valhalla. We work on providing better performance on modern hardware.

Understanding CPU Microarchitecture to Increase Performance
Microprocessors have evolved over decades to eke out performance from existing code. But the microarchitecture of the CPU leaks into the assumptions of a flat memory model, with the result that equivalent code can run significantly faster by working with, rather than fighting against, the...

Performance vs. New Features: It Doesn’t Have to Be a Zero-Sum Game
In this talk we'll explore implementing CRC checksums for a durable log while trying to retain respectable performance. We'll discuss motivations for applying checksums and explore how convoluted this process can be. We need to deal with missing/convoluted APIs to get the basics working....

Quarkus
There’s a radical advance in Java development waiting for you, right here. Why is everyone excited about Quarkus? Does it really produce sub-atomic applications? Is it an exaggeration to say it boots at “supersonic” speed?If you wonder how these figures are even possible, this...
