Java Talk: Every Last Nanosecond: Tuning the JVM for Extreme Low Latency

: January 14, 2012
: Room M108, Core M, PolyU Campus
: Hong Kong Java User Group
: Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
: This month we are holding a joint event with Hong Kong Linux User Group. In the first hour, Sunny Chan, the leader of Hong Kong Java User Group will repeat the talk he has given in JavaOne 2011.

Although the JVM abstracts developers from the hardware the Java program runs on, the underlying platform — including operating systems and hardware — can have a significant impact in a high-performance, low-latency environment. This session examines how in extreme cases, we can make use of Linux performance tools along with JVM performance tools to improve the performance and latency of the application. It presents an example in Linux to demonstrate how Java profiling tools can be used to identify the high-latency portion of the application and make use of Linux profiling tools such as oprofile to further identify the opportunity to optimize at the operating system/hardware level.
