• IBM’s statements regarding its plans, directions, and intent are subject to change
or withdrawal without notice and at IBM’s sole discretion.
• Information regarding potential future products is intended to outline our general product direction
and it should not be relied on in making a purchasing decision.
• The information mentioned regarding potential future products is not a commitment, promise,
or legal obligation to deliver any material, code or functionality. Information about potential
future products may not be incorporated into any contract.
• The development, release, and timing of any future features or
functionality described for our products remains at our sole discretion.
• Performance is based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled
environment. The actual throughput or performance that any user will experience will vary depending
upon many factors, including considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user’s job
stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no
assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve results similar to those stated here.

IBM Semeru Runtimes: Deep dive
IBM Semeru Runtime: Java Innovations for Cloud
IBM Semeru Runtime: Innovation examples
Conclusion
The History
• 1995: Sun Microsystems released Java
• 1996: IBM signed the first Java Technology Agreement
with Sun.
• Since then one of the largest investors in Java
technology
• 2005: We delivered an independent implementation of
JVM spec, IBM J9 VM
• Provided competitive advantage for our platforms and
products.
• 2010: Oracle acquired Sun and ownership of Java
technology
• IBM renewed our agreement with them and joined
OpenJDK
• 2017: We open sourced J9 at Eclipse foundation as
OpenJ9
• Started building it at AdoptOpenJDK community

The Java Landscape today
• IBM strategy is to promote a free,
open, vendor neutral Java ecosystem
and continue to deliver well tested
and free builds of OpenJ9 based
OpenJDK
• We continue to collaborate with Oracle
• We also work together in the OpenJDK
community, with others like Red Hat and SAP
• We provide the broadest platform coverage, and
contribute to Platform projects in OpenJDK
• Others like Bellsoft, Azul, Amazon are also working
in the Open Java Ecosystem, with Microsoft also
joining recently

Recognize resource
limits imposed
by environment
Use computing
resources
judiciously
Fast
start-up
Small
deployment
size
In Short : Build small containers, quickly provision new ones
Computing resources ==
• JRE vs JDK
• jlink to minimize
dependencies
• smaller OS images
• Container awareness :
CPUs and memory limits
• Allow user to specify
heap size as a percent of
container memory size
• Use larger –Xmx default
value in containers
• Reduced memory use to
work well in shared
environment by default
• -Xtune:virtualized
enables further
reduction in CPU and
memory use
• More content in shared classes
cache (SCC) and better quality
AOT compiled code
• Embed SCC in containers
• Multi-layered SCC for different
container layers
• Portable AOT : easier container
build with embedded SCC
IBM Semeru Runtimes
ibm.com/semeru-runtimes
11
• IBM built OpenJDK runtimes powered by the
Eclipse OpenJ9™ JVM (foundation of IBM’s Java-
based-software for 15+ years)
• No cost, stable, secure, high performance, cloud
optimised, multi-platform, ready for
development and production use, Eclipse
AQAvit™ Quality assured
• Two Editions:
• IBM® Semeru Runtime™ Open Edition
Open source license (GPLv2+CE)

What is a CRIU Snapshot ?
Summary: Fast startup without changing programming model
Linux CRIU capable of reducing startup time dramatically
Summary: 5-10X reduction in first response time
14
Linux CRIU capable of reducing startup time dramatically
JVM client identifies methods to compile, but asks server to do JIT compiles securely
• JIT server asks questions to the client JVM (about classes, environment, etc.)
• JIT server sends generated code back to be installed in JVM client’s code cache
• Decoupling of JIT from the JVM allows the client and the JIT to be scaled out independently
• JIT Server is a supported feature in IBM Semeru that has GAed on Linux X86 and Power platforms
What is JIT server ?
15
Java Performance in the Cloud
What is JIT Server ?
Benefits of an independent JIT server
• Remove JIT induced CPU and memory spikes from JVM clients
• Faster time to ramp up to peak throughput
• Future : centralized JIT server can profile the cluster
16
Benefits of remote compilation at JIT server
17
Optimization area Current capability Future plans
Startup time Shared cache
Cached JIT code
Class relationship verifier
JIT heuristics
Instant on: snapshot/restore
Project Leyden: native image
Memory footprint Shared cache
Frugal heap growth heuristics
Single word object header
Compressed references
Container awareness
JIT Server: reduce compiler
impact on memory footprint
security OpenSSL accelerated crypto FIPS support
Crypto card support
Acceleration for more algorithms
Usability & migration Command line option mapping
Tool equivalents (jcmd, jstack, etc.)
Same source JVM across JDK 8,11,17
Container awareness
Platforms: Mac M1, zArtemis
Java 18, Java 19 feature releases
Semeru Runtimes Focus Areas
•Unrivaled Java support in the industry
•Included for consuming IBM products
•Skilled team in full stack analysis to
pinpoint the problem
•Now also available for customers using

 Pay attention to what’s changing in feature releases so you
can plan what you need to do for next LTS
What’s coming in Java?
20
Feature releases still every 6 months
LTS releases every two years:
Java 17 (2021)
Java 21 (expected 2023)
Java 25 (expected 2025)
…
”Typical” 8 year product cycle now spans 4 to 5 major
Java releases
 Products should plan to upgrade Java LTS version
during their lifecycle

  • 15. JVM client identifies methods to compile, but asks server to do JIT compiles securely • JIT server asks questions to the client JVM (about classes, environment, etc.) • JIT server sends generated code back to be installed in JVM client’s code cache • Decoupling of JIT from the JVM allows the client and the JIT to be scaled out independently • JIT Server is a supported feature in IBM Semeru that has GAed on Linux X86 and Power platforms What is JIT server ? 15 Java Performance in the Cloud What is JIT Server ?
  • 16. Benefits of an independent JIT server • Remove JIT induced CPU and memory spikes from JVM clients • Faster time to ramp up to peak throughput • Future : centralized JIT server can profile the cluster 16 Benefits of remote compilation at JIT server

  • 20. OpenJDK key JEPS, deprecations and deletions: Java 17: Sealed classes Return to strict FP semantics Strongly encapsulate JDK internals Deprecate Security manager for removal Deprecate Applet API for removal Remove RMI activation Remove experimental AOT and JIT compiler Java 18: UTF-8 charset default for standard Java APIs Deprecate finalization for removal  Pay attention to what’s changing in feature releases so you can plan what you need to do for next LTS What’s coming in Java? 20 Feature releases still every 6 months LTS releases every two years: Java 17 (2021) Java 21 (expected 2023) Java 25 (expected 2025) … ”Typical” 8 year product cycle now spans 4 to 5 major Java releases  Products should plan to upgrade Java LTS version during their lifecycle
