Track Overview

Modern JVM Innovations

Our 'Modern JVM Innovations' track will cover the deep details of adaptive compilations and then take you towards innovations in the compilations world with bringing advanced compilation techniques to commodity hardwares to reduce time to peak performance for such systems. We will also discuss JVM for accelerators such as FPGAs and GPUs. Finally, we will wrap up with a panel on JDK 17, the path travelled: features, tips, and tricks.

Session + Live Q&A JVM

Understanding JIT Optimisations By Decompilation

Monday Nov 1 / 12:10PM EDT

How does the JIT compiler transform your code as it optimises it? We can try to understand what the compiler has done by looking at JIT logs, compiler data structures, and directly at the machine code, but these are all advanced options needing expert-level knowledge of compilers. How can we make...
