Level up Your Java Performance with TornadoVM
GPUs, FPGAs, or multi-core CPUs are present in almost every computing system today. These devices help increase performance and run more efficient workloads, but most frameworks are built on C or C++ only. At QCon Plus, Juan Fumero spoke about TornadoVM, a high-performance computing platform for the JVM, allowing to offload, at runtime, Java code to run on heterogeneous hardware accelerators.
