JVM Performance Engineering

Inside Java SE 9 shows experienced programmers exactly how to take full advantage of the highly anticipated new features in Java SE 9. Featuring sample code that reflects real-world use cases, this practical book by JavaOne Rockstar Monica Beckwith explains the key features and functions of Java SE 9 and demonstrates the benefits of utilizing them.
Beckwith shows how Java's new module system ("Project Jigsaw") enables working developers to build scalable solutions that are more secure and maintainable; and deliver exceptional performance. She reviews Java SE 9 changes in areas ranging from data types to performance optimizations; showing how to make the most of Java's new tools and facilities. For example, you'll learn how to:
Create microbenchmarks using the microbenchmarking harness Create a modular jar Take advantage of Java's new logging interface Take full advantage of the new default GC (garbage collection) Use sjavac, segmented code caches, and contended object monitors Create, compile and profile simple applications using the Netbeans IDE, and Oracle Developer Studio Performance Analyzer And much more
If you're moving to Java SE 9 -- or want to know why you should -- Inside Java SE 9 is the book you've been waiting for.
