Talk proposal: Open J9 - The next Free Java VM

[Charlie Gracie]

Title:
Open J9 - The Next Free Java VM

Abstract:
For years IBM has developed an independent implementation of the Java
Virtual Machine which helped foster rapid improvements in the Java
ecosystem. Recently, IBM has open sourced language agnostic components such
as IBM's JIT and GC technologies as part of the Eclipse OMR project. IBM is
actively working to open source the rest of the J9 Java VM as the Open J9
project. I will discuss the different components of the Open J9 VM at a
high level and our plans for creating the open source project.

Bio:
Charlie Gracie is currently working at IBM as the Garbage Collection
Architect on the J9 Java Virtual Machine and as a Project Lead on the
Eclipse OMR project. He has more than a decade of JVM development
experience where he has mainly been focused on scalability. Recently he has
also been looking into CRuby performance, getting back to his Smalltalk
roots with SOM++ and working on creating the Open J9 project.
