Reminder to everyone, including myself 😅, that the CfP closes today 🦥

JCON Conference @jcon.one · 8h

The box office closes tonight, Oct 10, at 23:59 (UTC+2).

Prepare like a filmmaker:
- Logline = Your title
- Synopsis = Your Abstract
- Runtime = 45m/20m/2h

Why #JCON? Giant screen = readable #code; #hallwaytrack + #MentorshipHub = real learning.

We see a similar pattern in music and Spotify, etc. Everyone just following the masses hoping for money (which never comes) by trying to emulate the big players (who play by entirely different rules and contracts).

Folks think they have to make boring garbage and follow dark patterns.

Primary reason for visiting #Devoxx whenever I can: Ask The Architects. Rarely enter with a specific question. Always walk out with tons of new insights. #askarch

The best #Devoxx session (in my book) is about to start: Ask the Architects. Bring your questions about Java and the OpenJDK architects will answer them. See you in five!

A big thank you to all of you who attended our @devoxx.com talk on writing #GPU ready #AI models in pure #Java!!!

If you wish to revisit the concepts and run the demos, here are the slides:

www.slideshare.net/slideshow/wr...

Give Babylon a try and share feedback with @lizeraes.bsky.social and I!

Writing GPU-Ready AI Models in Pure Java with Babylon

Project Babylon introduces the experimental Code Reflection technology that lets you define machine learning logic in plain Java code, without needing Python or external model files. It then uses Foreign Function and Memory (FFM) API to connect your code to native runtimes like ONNX Runtime for fast inference, including GPU acceleration. Furthermore, the Heterogeneous Accelerator Toolkit (HAT) provides a developer-facing programming model for writing and composing compute kernels, which can be more broadly applied-allowing Java libraries to seamlessly harness GPU power for high-performance computing tasks.

Excited to talk about @graalvm.org and #WebAssembly tomorrow at @devoxx.com! 🚀
Join me to explore Web Image and GraalWasm — and see them in action with plenty of live demos.

GraalVM @graalvm.org · 16d

Fabio @fniephaus.com will introduce Web Image, a new preview feature of GraalVM that enables compiling applications into efficient Wasm modules, including use cases and live demos.
We'll also look at GraalWasm, a new embeddable Wasm runtime.
