OpenJDK’s Project Valhalla is set to revolutionize how the JVM handles data objects in memory. By bringing the characteristics of primitives to Java objects and classes you’ll see denser memory layouts that can lead to many advantages such as improved cache performance and a smaller memory footprint.
This talk offers an exploration of Valhalla's objectives, progress, and its potential impact on the Java ecosystem with examples throughout. Come discover how Project Valhalla is on the verge of reshaping the landscape of Java, paving the way for a more efficient and high-performing future.
