Talk #1: "Harnessing the Power of the Vector API: Accelerating Performance in Modern Applications"

We will delve into the Vector API introduced in Java to enhance data parallelism and performance in applications. The Vector API provides a mechanism for expressing vector computations that can be reliably compiled to optimal vector instructions on supported CPU architectures. This new API promises significant performance gains by leveraging SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) operations, which allow the same operation to be performed on multiple data points simultaneously. Attendees will gain insights into how the Vector API simplifies complex data processing tasks, its practical applications, and the benefits it brings in terms of computational efficiency.

Talk #2: Foreign Functions and Memory API

Two salient features of Java which helps programmers to invoke foreign functions efficiently and safely access foreign memory which are the code and data outside of JVM. An API capable of calling native libraries and process native data.

The primary objective of the presentation goes as follows:

Introduction to FFM: Covers certain basic topics along with Foreign Function and Memory Management
Memory Management – Off-heap allocation, direct memory access, memory mapping
Java Native Interface (JNI)
Libraries and native functions

Foreign memory: Covers about accessing and dereferencing Memory segment, usage of arenas.

Foreign Functions: Talks about SymbolLookup and Linker.

Working with sample codes: Usage of FFM and coding.
