Azul CTO Webinar: Java GC and the Application Memory Wall, Part 3
Azul CTO Webinar Series
Java GC and the Application Memory Wall, Part III
Speaker: Gil Tene, VP of Technology, CTO and Co-Founder, Azul Systems
Abstract: In this third of a three-part webinar series, Gil Tene (CTO, Azul Systems) examines practical solutions to the Application Memory Wall problem.
Gil shows how solving the key technical limitations that lead to the decade-long stagnation in application memory instance growth can lead to the post-Wall era: an era in which applications will once again be free to productively and naturally consume the abundant compute resources available in modern servers.
Gil reviews the specifics of C4 - the Continuously Concurrent Compacting Collector, and the Azul Zing JVM platform that uses it to eliminate the scale and consistency barriers in Java application instances. Finally, he discusses some of the common and expected uses of such scalable instances in fully utilizing modern server capacities.
Speaker Bio: Gil Tene has been involved with virtual machine technologies for the past 20 years and has been building Java technology-based products since 1995. He co-founded Azul Systems in 2002 with three other partners.
Gil pioneered Azul's C4 (Continuously Concurrent Compacting Collector), Java Virtualization and various managed runtime and systems stack technologies that combine to deliver the industry's most scalable and robust Java platforms.
Prior to co-founding Azul Systems, Gil was Director of Technology at Nortel Networks, Shasta Networks and at Check Point Software Technologies.
In 2006 he was named one of the Top 50 Agenda Setters in the technology industry by Silicon.com. Gil holds a BSEE from The Technion Israel Institute of Technology, and has been awarded 26 patents in computer-related technologies.
