Performance and Memory Improvements in Android Runtime - ART

Explore recent performance and memory improvements in the Android Runtime (ART) in this Google I/O '17 conference talk. Dive into the new concurrent copying garbage collector based on read barriers, which reduces pause times and heap sizes. Learn about advancements in ahead-of-time (AOT) and just-in-time (JIT) compilers, including Class Hierarchy Analysis for reducing virtual call overhead, induction variable analysis, loop optimization, and vectorization for SIMD instructions. Discover a range of optimizations specifically designed to enhance Android application performance. Witness the impact of these improvements through real-life benchmark and application performance demonstrations. Gain valuable insights into ART's evolution and its significance for Android developers.
