Michael Bien's Weblog : Developing with JOCL on AMD, Intel and Nvidia OpenCL platforms

The jlink command line tool can be used to create custom java runtimes, which only include the functionality required by the (modular) java application. However, what if the application isn't modular and still uses the classpath? In this case an extra step is needed to determine which JDK modules are required by the application before jlink can be used. | Michael Bien's Weblog
I needed a toy project to experiment with JEP 389 of Project Panama (modern JNI) but wanted to take a better look at CRIU (Checkpoint/Restore In Userspace) too. So I thought, lets try to combine both and created JCRIU. The immediate questions I had were: how fast can it defrost a warmed up JVM and can it make a program time travel. | Michael Bien's Weblog
Once JFRLog stored all logs as events in JFR records, you might want to read them out again for inspection and maybe even in an easy readable format which resembles classic log files a bit more. | Michael Bien's Weblog
I just wrote JFRLog - a lightweight SLF4J logger implementation which lets you log directly into the Java Flight Recorder. Since SLF4J (Simple Logging Facade for Java) has a binding to basically every logging framework out there, it doesn't even matter how the logging is done or how many frameworks the application or the dependencies use (hopefully not many). | Michael Bien's Weblog
A quick guide about how to configure Jetty to use Project Loom'svirtual threads instead of plain old java threads. | Michael Bien's Weblog
I have always been a little surprised how quickly it became acceptable to run applications wrapped in containers as root processes. Nobody would have run a web server as root before docker became mainstream if there was some way to avoid it. But with docker it became OK to have the docker daemon and the container processes all running as root. The first item in most docker tutorials became how to elevate your user rights so that you don't have to type sudo before every docker command. | Michael Bien's Weblog
Project Loom introduces lightweight, JVM managed, virtual threads (old name: fibers) to java. Lets take a look how the project is progressing and see how they compare to plain old OS managed threads. | Michael Bien's Weblog
The Java Flight Recorder is great for monitoring the JVM but after checking out the new JFR Event Streaming in JDK 14, I was curious how well it would work in practice for basic logging needs. I always wanted to generate some page view statistics for this web blog but never liked the idea of tracking users in their browsers (or at least those few who turned off tracking protection for some reason or used a outdated browser). | Michael Bien's Weblog
The Raspberry Pi 3b+ runs on a Cortex A53 quad core processor which is using the Armv8 architecture. This allows it to run 64bit (AArch64) kernels, but be also backwards compatible with Armv7 and run 32bit (Armhf) kernels. | Michael Bien's Weblog
Class Data Sharing as a JVM feature exists for quite some time already, but it became more popular in context of containers. CDS maps a pre-defined class archive into memory and makes it shareable between JVM processes. This can improve startup time but also reduce per-JVM footprint in some cases. | Michael Bien's Weblog
Java 11 adds with JEP330 the ability to launch a Java source file directly from the command line without requiring to explicitly compile it. I can see this feature being convenient for some simple scripting or quick tests. | Michael Bien's Weblog
Since I am doing a lot with OpenCL lately I decided to try to improve the tooling around OpenCL a bit. A weekend later the NetBeans OpenCL Pack was born :). | Michael Bien's Weblog
Ok some of them are big, but I will only cover the little things with this blog entry :). | Michael Bien's Weblog
