Technical Webinar Series: Intro to Zing Vision

Azul Technical Webinar Series

Title: Introduction to Zing Vision - Real time Java performance management

Speaker: Tom Kraljevic, Senior Staff Engineer, Azul Systems

Abstract: In this hands-on presentation, Tom Kraljevic (Senior Staff Engineer, Azul Systems) provides an overview of Zing Vision. Unique in the industry, Zing Vision is an analysis tool designed for use on production systems without having an impact on performance.

Tom begins by describing the key attributes of Zing Vision, then shows how the tool is an ideal complement to other, more development-focused Java performance tools. The webinar lists the key problem sets addressed by Zing Vision, especially in helping production and operations teams identify where the CPU is spending its time - and equally importantly - why in some cases all available cores are not being used.

The webinar concludes by describing Zing Vision's Tick Profiler and sets the stage for an upcoming webinar showing specific use cases on Java application workloads.
