Learn How to Boost your Java Performance with Ehcache
Published May 31st, 2010 Under General | Leave a Comment
Greg Luck, the founder or Ehcache, shares his wisdom on implementing effective Java caching strategies in general and in Hibernate. Ehcache is an open source, standards-based cache used in a wide array of applications to boost performance, offload the database and simplify scalability. Greg walks through the Spring Pet Clinic as an application example and show us how to tune it for maximum performance, both when using Hibernate and when caching result sets directly. He show the comparative application performance of Ehcache EX 1.8 versus MySQL, Memcached and a leading In-Memory Data Grid, including the impressive performance increases from the latest Terracotta 3.2 Server Array. Finally, Greg discusses some upcoming features in Ehcache 2.0 such as JTA, bulk loading, the new Hibernate 3.3 provider and write-behind.
Making every millisecond count! JVM performance tuning in the real-world
Published January 13th, 2010 Under Architecture, Coding | Leave a Comment
Why is performance analysis so hard to do well? What features of Java are the actual big-ticket items when it comes to performance? How much have recent advances in the JVM really helped? Is there any good news coming with JDK 7? How do I stop myself becoming the “performance soothsayer” of my group? How can I stop having the “which is faster – Java or C++” discussion? These are some of the questions than Ben will answer as he reviews the current state of low-level Java performance tuning for low-latency applications, and talks about his experiences squeezing every last microsecond from financial applications.

Google Web Toolkit (GWT) allows developers to build highly optimized, fast AJAX applications. GWT allows developers to code in the Java programming language using their favorite IDE tools, then cross-compile that source into plain JavaScript to be served just like any other webpage script. We’ll take a look at some performance techniques you can use in GWT to build even faster web apps.
