Optimizing Java on the EU Processor Platform

Explore the intersection of Java optimization and European semiconductor sovereignty in this DevConf.CZ 2023 conference talk. Delve into the Horizon Europe AERO project, which aims to develop software components for cloud-ready deployments on European Processor Initiative (EPI) designs. Learn about two key components of the Java ecosystem: Quarkus, a Kubernetes Native Java stack from Red Hat, and TornadoVM, a JVM plugin for accelerating Java programs on GPUs and FPGAs. Gain insights into how these technologies contribute to the EU's efforts in chip design and manufacturing, as well as their implications for the future of Java development on European processor platforms.
