Java performance is far from being trivial to benchmark because it is affected by various
factors such as the Java application, its input, the virtual machine, the garbage collector, the …

A large number of workloads are written in garbage-collected languages. These
applications spend up to 10-35% of their CPU cycles on GC, and these numbers increase …

The tutorial aims at practitioners-researchers or developers-who need to execute small
scale performance experiments in Java. The goal is to provide the attendees with a compact …

A managed runtime environment, such as the Java virtual machine, is non-trivial to
benchmark. Java performance is affected in various complex ways by the application and its …

Bytecode, Java's binary form, is relatively high-level and therefore susceptible to
decompilation attacks. An obfuscator transforms code such that it becomes more complex …

In this paper, we compose six different Python and Prolog VMs into 4 pairwise compositions:
one using C interpreters, one running on the JVM, one using meta-tracing interpreters, and …

Modern JIT compilers often employ multi-level recompilation strategies as a means of
ensuring the most used code is also the most highly optimized, balancing optimization costs …

The increasing need for more adaptive production environments is a big motivator for the
adoption of agentbased technologies in industrial systems, as they provide better …

While the Java runtime is installed on billions of devices and servers worldwide, it remains a
primary attack vector for online criminals. As recent studies show, the majority of all exploited …

At the heart of all garbage collectors lies the process of identifying and processing reference
fields within an object. Despite its key role, and evidence of many different implementation …
