Session + Live Q&A

Comparison of Performance of Multiple CPU Architectures

With an increase in the choices of CPU architectures available both on-premise and in the public cloud, it is becoming increasingly important to understand the differences in performance between these options.  We will compare performance examples of 4 different CPU vendors while also comparing bare metal and two public cloud enviroments.  Our testing will utilize SPECjbb2015 with OpenJDK17 to illustrate various aspects of peak throughput as well as latency response.  We'll also consider performance/watt differences measured on bare metal workloads, providing further insight into different architectures.  Rather than attempting to declare a "winner", we'll focus on illustrating similiarites and differences among multiple high performing architectures.

Unblocked By Design

Monday Nov 8 / 12:10PM EST

Asynchronous designs present an opportunity for greater system performance, but require a different mindset to take full advantage of. Applying normal synchronous approaches to asynchronous designs often lead to less efficient implementations, added complexity, and can negate the advantages a...

The Mechanics of Metrics: Aggregation across Dimensions

Monday Nov 8 / 01:10PM EST

The most efficient way to observe application behavior relies on metrics, key/value pairs of numerical data. Capturing and processing metrics can help you identify and respond to potential issues before they escalate and cause more serious problems. But what should you measure? What do those...

JIT vs. AOT: How to Pick the Right Approach

Monday Nov 8 / 02:10PM EST

The popularity of Java introduced the benefits of Just-In-Time (JIT) dynamic compilation to many developers. Recently, Ahead-Of-Time (AOT) compilation techniques have also been available for Java. When should a developer use a JIT or AOT? The panelists will discuss the trade-offs between the two...
