Advances in Liberty and Java performance

When: Dec 10, 2019 from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM (ET)

Associated with IMWUC

Summary

This session will share recent improvements in Open Liberty and IBM WebSphere Liberty on several different performance metrics.

Comparisons are done across multiple platforms and in different cloud/virtualized environments, including ones that are running EE8, microservices and SpringBoot applications in order to quantify how well Liberty performs in those varied scenarios.

The session will also include cutting edge advancements in the OpenJ9 JVM that is at the core of the IBM SDK for Java. We will cover both features that are important for cross-platform performance, as well as platform-specific exploitation of the latest hardware features on Intel and IBM platforms.
