MS7
Optimizing Java Programs for Technical Computing

10:00 AM-12:00 PM
Room: Executive Salon 1

There is an increasing interest in using Java as a language for technical computing. Current implementations of Java still lag behind C++ and Fortran in performance for these applications, but recent research has shown that Java should be able to achieve performance on par with these languages. The speakers in this minisymposium will discuss the current state of the art and future developments in the field of compiler optimizations for Java that target technical applications.

Organizers: Sam P. Midkiff, Manish Gupta, and Jose E. Moreira
