Presentation: Tweet"Enabling Java in Latency Sensitive and Low Jitter Environments"

Applying Java to latency and jitter sensitive applications typically involves sacrifices, tradeoffs, and contortions that greatly diminish the value, leverage, and productivity that are usually associated with the Java platform. In this talk, Gil Tene (CTO, Azul Systems) will explore newly available technologies that enable modern Java applications to finally achieve the long-sought-after goal of consistently low latency coupled with high, sustainable throughputs, and still use the full spectrum of the Java platform's capabilities. After examining the core issues that have historically kept Java environments from performing well in low latency, low jitter environments, Gil will describe technologies and deployment techniques that now allow Java developers to achieve worst case platform latencies of 10 milliseconds and less "out of the box", and maximum platform latencies of 2-3 milliseconds with very little tuning effort. Gil will share some aggressive system tuning methods that can even drive peak Java application latencies below the 1 millisecond mark, and highlight some of the "secret sauce" that makes such breakthroughs in Java platform behavior possible.
