Integrated ”JEP 516: Ahead-of-Time Object Caching with Any GC”! openjdk.org/jeps/516

This is an awesome oak tree close to where I live.

That is a good oak.

JDK 25 has been branched from the main line and is now in Rampdown Phase One: mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/jd... openjdk.org/projects/jdk... #JDK25 #OpenJDK #Java

It’s 5 days left to JavaOne. Go buy a ticket if you haven’t already! And don’t miss my session about what we are cooking in the ZGC project right now: reg.rf.oracle.com/flow/oracle/...

#Java developers! @JavaOne is BACK (18-20 Mar). Early bird registration is available through Feb 9th. Please (re)join us at THE conference that started it all... Blog ➡️ social.ora.cl/6015Qne5z Event ➡️ javaone.com #JavaOne #OpenJDK #JDK

I used to have a bunch of followers on here. Now I can’t find them any more; it just says 404.

Hello, Bluesky!

Looks like Cassandra is getting support for JDK 21 and decided to switch GC to Generational ZGC. Good choice! I like how GC pause warning threshold changed from 1 second to 10 ms and logging threshold from 200 ms to 2 ms. PR: github.com/apache/cassa...

I finally deactivated my ”X” account after a long time of not using it. I simply don’t want to go back there.

I migrated to bluesky rather early. Why? Because I know garbage when I see it.

Helidon 4.1.4 is out now! This release contains important bugfixes and enhancements and is recommended for all users of Helidon 4. github.com/helidon-io/h...

My work on ZGC automatic heap sizing is coming together beautifully. I’m increasingly happy with the GC logs. Feeling optimistic that it can beat carefully tuned manual heap sizing. A static heap size just can’t deal with dynamic behaviour shifts as well; it’s not in its nature.

Twitter was a good ride. Hard to leave 65K followers behind, but hard to stay there too. Let's try things where the sky is blue!

My JVMLS presentation about automatic heap sizing for ZGC is now available. It’s going to be pretty cool I think. youtube.com/watch?v=wcEN...

Finally Java 23 is out - the first release where Generational ZGC is the default mode of ZGC!

#Java developers...The fifth recording from the 14th #JVM Language Summit is now available "#Valhallla - Where Are We?" by Brian Goetz (from the Java & #OpenJDK Team at #Oracle). Click to view ➡️ youtu.be/IF9l8fYfSnI?... #JVMLS #JVMLS2024

I have worked a lot on automatic heap sizing for ZGC lately (cf. openjdk.org/jeps/8329758). If you find this interesting, I will talk about it at JVMLS this year. See you there!

🚨Java 22 is now available!🚨 ✅ Your FREE ✅Multi-Platform ✅ Production-Ready ✅ Open Source ✅ Binary Release made available from oracle. Learn more inside.java/2024/03/19/t... #Java22 #JDK22 #OpenJDK #JDK #Java

🚨JavaOne is BACK!🚨 On behalf of the Java Team at Oracle, I'm happy to announce the RETURN OF @JavaOne! Learn more ➡️ inside.java/2024/03/19/a... #Java #OpenJDK #JDK #Java #JavaOne

"In fact, we’ve found for our services and architecture that there is no such trade off. For a given CPU utilization target, ZGC improves both average and P99 latencies with equal or better CPU utilization when compared to G1." writes Netflix' Danny Thomas: netflixtechblog.com/bending-paus...

I ran in to Danny Thomas from Netflix at JVMLS last year. Told him they should try Generational ZGC. They did, and it performed very well. Now they have changed default GC to Generational ZGC at Netflix, and Danny wrote a blog post about their experience: netflixtechblog.com/bending-paus...

I try to remove a lot of unnecessary complicated code before adding a lot of complicated code. I think of it as limiting myself to a “complexity budget”. Now I’m at the point of the cycle where it’s time to add complicated code.

Finally, ICStubs are a distant memory that I will try to suppress. github.com/openjdk/jdk/...

Tired of seeing ”Cleanup” and ”ICBufferFull” safepoint spam in your -Xlog:safepoint output? Finally, I got around to getting rid of this: github.com/openjdk/jdk/...

Happy holidays to all of my two followers!
