Explore the intricacies of Java HotSpot performance optimization in this comprehensive conference talk from Strange Loop. Dive deep into JIT and Runtime optimizations, HotSpot garbage collection, and various garbage collectors available in HotSpot. Learn from Monica Beckwith, an experienced Java Virtual Machine expert, as she shares insights gained from over a decade of optimizing JVM heuristics, improving JIT code quality for different processor architectures, and enhancing garbage collection for server systems. Discover the trifecta of performance: responsiveness, footprint, and throughput, and how they relate to garbage collection, compilation, and runtime. Gain valuable knowledge on topics such as execution engines, heap management, locking improvements, escape analysis, compressed OOPs, and tiered compilation. Understand the complexities of Java object headers, string objects, and the generational Java heap. This talk is essential for Java developers and performance engineers looking to optimize their applications and systems running on the Java Virtual Machine. Read more
