AAJUG General Meeting

March 17, 2011 in AAJUG Meetings, events

March 22, 2011
7:00 pmto9:00 pm

Mark D. Chisam will present “GC Nirvana High throughput, low latency and lots of state, all at the same time.”

Download Slides, Garbage Collection Paper

We will be serving food and refreshments.
We will have giveaways such as T-Shirts, Pens, etc.

Meeting Location:

Washtenaw Community College, WCC BE 172 MAP

Session Abstract:

You want your low-latency cake and have high throughput, too? For years Java engineers have debated strategies to improve Java runtimes, but conventional JVM approaches have always placed low-latency and high-throughput as mutually exclusive design elements. Add on the desire for large heaps and you’re pushing engineering pipe dream.

But it’s not heresy, just innovation and hard work, that we can now deliver a JVM that does it all for commodity servers. In this session we’ll bust the myth that JVM performance is limited by either low-latency or high-throughput design tradeoffs and demonstrate consistent, low-latency response times with high, sustained allocation rates using 10s of x86 cores and 100s of GBs of memory.
