Search Results for "special kernel"

LMAX aims to be the fastest trading platform in the world. Clearly, in order to achieve this we needed to do something special to achieve very low-latency and high-throughput with our Java platform. Performance testing showed that using queues to pass data between stages of the system was introducing latency, so we focused on optimising this area. The Disruptor is the result of our research and testing. We found that cache misses at the CPU-level, and locks requiring kernel arbitration are both extremely costly, so we created a framework which has "mechanical sympathy" for the hardware it’s running on, and that’s lock-free. ...

Fast Matrix for Java (fm4j) is a general-purpose matrix utility library for computing with dense matrices. fm4j encapsulated different underlying implementations and select the optimal one in run-time depending on the size of the input matrix. Moreover, fm4j employs Java (Tm) Concurrency to take advantage of the computation power of multi-cor processors.
