Performance Java Training

I am looking to provide "Master Class" Java training for developers of high throughput and low latency systems based on my experience in designing and implementing trading systems for hedge funds.

 As this will be my first course, I am looking for feedback as to what to include and what to drop. I am concerned this is an overwhelming amount of information to cover in a week which will make it difficult to cover each topic in much depth.

 You can contact me on peter.lawrey (a) higherfrequencytrading.com if you are interested in the course. This is in person training in English.  My first session will be in London, but I would consider other cities if there is enough interest.

Overview
The training assumes you are familiar with all the standard features of Java and know most of the topics covered by advanced Java programming courses. i.e. everything covered in most advanced books.

The scope of the training is designing, developing, testing and tuning performance Java applications.  The three areas covered are low latency, high throughput and big data techniques.  Both common libraries in these spaces and how to implement simple examples of your own are covered.  The course is 30% design and theory and 70% practical.

Developers should have at least five years solid, hands on Core Java coding experience. e.g. you should be able to write multi-threaded code on paper which has a good chance of compiling.

NOTE: The actual content has been expanded and is detailed here.

    Check out http://www.kodewerk.com/workshop.html - how is your training different (I see it is)? But a good idea, I like it.

    AFAIK, Kirk's course teaches you how to determines what the real requirements of an application are, how to tune an existing application, and how to get the best from a system you already have. This is a very common problem in banks where you need to get more out of systems you have already developed or libraries you have to use.

    If you have an existing system you need to perform better, this is the best approach for your money. BTW Kirk also has many years experience teaching this course. This course is good if you want to improve the performance of your system by tens of percent with minimal redevelopment.

    What my course does is say; you have tried all that and it is nowhere near enough. You need 10x to 100x improvement. How can I design an implement a system for performance from the start, or reimplement key components for maximum performance? As such it is only appropriate if you need custom functionality or you are not committed to a specific suite of libraries.

    That is a good idea. I would have to work out how that would work.

    Hi Peter,

    I would love to attend your seminar but I am located in New Zealand, is there any chance you can record the sessions and put it on YouTube so I can watch it?

    Thanks,
    Mehul

    I will see what I can do about a web cast. It wouldn't be everything as I would be looking to make some money from providing the training.

    There are some sites where you can host paid webinar sessions and even sell the videos afterwards.
    Anyway, do you have a date range in mind?

    Hello All,

    I plan to produce a webinar of at least some of the content. As yet I don't have a date or a price but I intend to start small with a "saturday" course held in person in London and work my way of from there.

    I will keep you up to date as my plans become more firm.

    Thank you for your interest,
    Peter.

    I would do one session and sell video on iTunes or Amazon afterwards.

    Cloudera gets $2500 revenue per seat on week long in person trainings. Lots of overhead to rent space and it doesn't scale. Also, many companies only reimburse if you get a certificate out of it.

    Hey Peter, +1 for the webinar. Have you considered the possibility of an off-shore training session close by? Like in Spain?

      One of the three developers of the course lives in Madrid so it could be the first place outside London.

    @allsha The course seems reasonable to me. I wouldn't expect too much for this price, but you might be pleasantly surprised.

      Why do people insist on spamming messages for out of date training. I hope no one wastes their money on this stuff. Not only is JDK 5 End of Life but it's replacement has been end of life for some time.

      J2EE 5 and the rest of the content is at least ten years old. You would do a better, more up to date learning by just searching for tutorials on this stuff.

Java is Very Fast, If You Don’t Create Many Objects

Image
  You still have to watch how many objects you create. This article looks at a benchmark passing events over TCP/IP at 4 billion events per minute using the net.openhft.chronicle.wire.channel package in Chronicle Wire and why we still avoid object allocations..  One of the key optimisations is creating almost no garbage. Allocation is a very cheap operation and collection of very short-lived objects is also very cheap. Does this really make a difference? What difference does one small object per event (44 bytes) make to the performance in a throughput test where GC pauses are amortised? While allocation is as efficient as possible, it doesn’t avoid the memory pressure on the L1/L2 caches of your CPUs and when many cores are busy, they are contending for memory in the shared L3 cache.  Results Benchmark on a Ryzen 5950X with Ubuntu 22.10. JVM Vendor, Version No objects Throughput, Average Latency* One object per event Throughput, Average Latency* Azul Zulu 1.8.0_322 60.6 ...

System wide unique nanosecond timestamps

A Unique Identifier can be very useful for tracing. Those ids are even more useful when they contain a high-resolution timestamp.  Not only do they record the time of an event, but if unique can help trace events as they pass through the system. Such unique timestamps however can be expensive depending on how they are implemented.   This post explores a lightweight means of producing a unique, monotonically increasing system-wide nano-second resolution timestamp available in our open-source library. Uses for Unique Identifiers Unique identifiers can be useful to associate with a piece of information so that information can be referred to later unambiguously. This could be an event, a request, an order id, or a customer id. They can naturally be used as a primary key in a database or key/value store to retrieve that information later. One of the challenges of generating these identifiers is avoiding creating duplicates while not having an increasing cost.  You could ...

What does Chronicle Software do?

Image
Overview Chronicle Software is about simplifying fast data.  It is a suite of libraries to make it easier to write, monitor and tune data processing systems where performance and scalability are concerned. But its free, how do you make money, through support? We offer premium support . However, we often hear from users for the first time about a year after they have it in production.  Most users find they can support the software themselves.  It is only after a year or so, they have questions or concerns about where to take the product next.  In many cases, it is to a problem we have already solved and they just need to upgrade their software or use a new module we have added. As we don't know who is using most of our software, we can't advise them on how best to use our software and what updates or enhancements they would benefit from. We need users to contact us and ask questions.  We have a free forum , and we respond to 50% of questions in 2 hours...
