2012-11-14: Every Last Nanosecond: Tuning the JVM for Extreme Low Latency This event is organised in association with Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, Hong Kong Polytechnic University Location: Room M108, Hong Kong Polytechnic University Time: Saturday 14th January, 2012, From: 14.00 - 18:00 Abstract: 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. Afterwards, there will be a number of Linux talk on the following topics: 3:30pm Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) talk #2 The talk will start at 2.30pm, and there is a short networking session between 2pm until 2.30pm.
