Title: Java Caching and auto tuning your heap and cache sizes - A first humble shot at it Summary: This talk presents some thoughts on how to improve Java enterprise applications memory efficiency, either to achieve higher densities in cloud computing environments or scale up heap memory sufficiently in high demand phases. The basic idea is to establish feedback loops from the garbage collector to the caching layer and, ideally, adapt dynamically tuning parameters to achieve the most efficient operation. I will present a summary of my ideas and findings on this topic and some experiments with the caching library cache2k on real world applications. There will be also some (little) time left for discussion, since I'd like to engage the Java VM community, to explore what VM or GC features can also be exploited or maybe come up with some new ideas to support the caching middleware.

In ancient times Jens worked on many different projects, from embedded systems up to software for the IBM mainframe, in startups and in "legacy" companies. He is enthusiastic about improving performance, within developer teams as well as in complex software systems. For the last two years he dedicates every spare time to research and help out in the area of Java Caching. He has crafted a Java caching library with unique and innovative features, answers regularly caching related questions on Stack Overflow and contributes to the Java caching standard JSR107.
