TornadoVM: Accelerating Java with GPUs with Juan Fumero

The Java ecosystem is maturing. The GraalVM high performance runtime provides a virtual machine for running applications in a variety of languages. TornadoVM extends the Graal compiler with a new backend for OpenCL. TornadoVM allows the offloading of JVM applications onto heterogeneous hardware. Juan Fumero works on TornadoVM. He joins the show to talk about the use case for TornadoVM, the design, and the engineering that underlies the system. We also talk about the overall Java ecosystem.
