Proposal would implement region pinning in the default GC so that Java threads would never have to wait for a garbage collection operation to complete. Topics Spotlight: AI-ready data centers ...

Here we look at how to improve the performance of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) by minimizing the latency involved with bytecode to native code compilation steps. ... Of course, it's a catch-22.

Nevertheless, Java performance approaches that of C and C++, and projects such as Quarkus enable Java microservices to be compiled right down to binary, so the virtual machine issue goes away.

The C language has been a programming staple for decades. Here’s how it stacks up against C++, Java, C#, Go, Rust, Python, and the newest kid on the block—Carbon.

With performance optimizations seemingly having lost their relevance in an era of ever-increasing hardware performance, there are still many good reasons to spend some time optimizing code. In a re… ...

The National Security Agency (NSA) is urging developers to shift to memory safe languages – such as C#, Go, Java, Ruby, Rust, and Swift – to protect their code from remote code execution or ...
