An Introduction to JVM Performance

An Introduction to JVM Performance

Explore the inner workings of Oracle's HotSpot virtual machine and its just-in-time compiler in this 41-minute conference talk from GOTO Oslo 2020. Delve into the interplay between the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and computer hardware to understand common optimizations applied by virtual machines. Gain insights to improve and reason about Java program performance, challenging the myth that Java is always outperformed by native languages. Learn how to correctly benchmark Java applications and interpret the results. Presented by Rafael Winterhalter, a JVM aficionado, JavaOne Rock Star, and Java Champion, this talk equips developers with knowledge to optimize their Java code for better performance.
