13. © 2014 IBM Corporation1 Java Runtime Compilation : trade off effort and benefit  The VM searches the JAR, loads and verifies bytecodes to internal representation, runs bytecode form directly  After many invocations (or via sampling) code gets compiled at ‘cold’ or ‘warm’ level  An internal, low overhead sampling thread is used to identify frequently used methods  Methods may get recompiled at ‘hot’ or ‘scorching’ levels (for more optimizations)  Transition to ‘scorching’ goes through a temporary profiling step cold hot scorching profiling interpreter warm Results can be stored for future runs and shared across invocations Xshareclasses Java's intermediate bytecodes are compiled as required and based on runtime profiling - code is compiled 'just in time' as required - dynamic compilation can determine the target machine capabilities and app's demands

15. IBM z13: SMT – Simultaneous Multi -Threading SMT permits multiple independent threads to execute on a single core concurrently • Achieve more effectively utilization of processor resources z13 SMT allows 2 threads-per-core to deliver better overall throughput for multiple concurrent workloads • Increases effective zIIP/IFL capacity • Doubles number of eligible threads Threads share resources – may impact single thread perf • Pipeline (eg. physical registers, fxu, fpu, lsu etc) • Cache Throughput improvement is workload dependent Two zIIP lanes handle more traffic overall 4ASZ-2026 : Reasons to Love IBM Java and WebSphere Application Server on z Systems

16. IBM z13: Vector Processing SIMD – Single Instruction Multiple Data Operate on multiple data-elements (vectors) simultaneously • Can offer dramatic speed-up to data-parallel operations (matrix ops, string processing, etc) 5ASZ-2026 : Reasons to Love IBM Java and WebSphere Application Server on z Systems Vector registers are 128-bits wide and can be used to operate concurrently on: • Two 64-bit floating point values • Four 32-bit floating point values • Sixteen 8-bit characters • Two 64-bit integer values • etc

18. © 2014 IBM Corporation15 Data Access Accelerator (DAA) – in a nutshell Data-centric tasks such as big data, analytics and inter-language communication require optimal performance for accessing and operating on native format data records and types from Java. Prefer to avoid object creation, data copying, abstraction, boxing etc DAA provides a Java library for bare-bones data conversion, arithmetic etc. Provides native-oriented operations directly on Java byte arrays Orchestrated with JIT for deep platform optimization ➔ No intermediate Java objects created when recognized by the IBM JIT ➔ Avoid expensive Java object instantiation by allowing in-place operations Benefits: Expose hardware acceleration in a platform and JVM-neutral manner (2 – 100x speed-up) Can provide significant speed-up to record parsing frameworks Can provide significant speed-up for data marshalling and inter-language communication

19. © 2014 IBM Corporation16 Data Access Accelerator – example Problem: there is no intrinsic representation of a “packed decimal” in Java Solution: trivially add two packed decimals by converting to BigDecimal: Step 1: convert from byte[] to BigDecimal Step 2 : add BigDecimals together Step 3: convert BigDecimal result back to byte[] ● IBM Java provides a helper method to do this operation for you: Old Approach: byte[] addPacked(byte[] a, byte[] b) { BigDecimal a_bd = convertPackedToBd(a[]); BigDecimal b_bd = convertPackedToBd(b[]); a_bd.add(b_bd); return (convertBDtoPacked(a_bd)); } BigDecimal convertPackedToBd(byte[] myBytes) { … ~30 lines … } New Approach: byte[] addPacked(byte[] a, byte[] b) { DAA.addPacked(a[], b[]); return (a[]); } e.g. you wish to add two packed decimal numbers p.s. zSeries hardware has packed decimal machine instructions, e.g. AP (AddPacked) On IBM Java 7 Release 1, “DAA.addPacked(a,b)” is compiled to this one instruction!
