Run Anywhere from the Hardware Perspective
Java’s “write once, run anywhere” mantra was
a revolutionary concept when it first launched. It helped Java push
into areas traditionally held by other technologies. Now it's
almost taken for granted, but adhering to it is still a necessity.
There continues to be a lot of work being done behind the scenes to
keep the JRE running anywhere well, so that it has the features and
performance that you require for your applications.
AMD collaborates with JVM vendors and OSVs to make that happen.
One of the AMD teams that contributes to these efforts is the Java
Labs, which focuses on JVM throughput optimizations, the
development of tools for performance analysis of Java workloads,
and the incorporation of hardware advancements into the runtime
environment.
We will discuss:
-
Optimizations recently contributed or currently being
investigated by the team, including Hashmap common use case
changes, class size reductions for monster objects like BigDecimal,
and automatic field reordering and deletion in the JVM
-
JVMTI changes that will provide more robust profiling data for
tools
-
Performance tuning suggestions for hardware features, including
large page support and NUMA
-
Tips on how to tap the power of the latest hardware
features
