Moving to Github and Asciidoc

This blog is moving to https://vanilla-java.github.io/

Why move to Asciidoc on HubPress on Gighub from Blogger.

I am moving my blog to use Asciidoc on Github.com.
This is partially to make it easier to embed code and tables, but mostly because I am tired of fighting blogger to not mess with the content when I edit a posting.
Please join me on my new source of content, and if you see any mistakes, please fork my blog and issue a Pull Request.

EDIT: It has been noted that HubPress.IO doesn't support an RSS feed yet. For this reason I will be posting an abstract and a link on blogger until this feature is added.

    Does Github has some RSS / Atom feed?

    there is a atom feed for the commits, but unfortunatelly, as far as I can see, no content only the hint for a change itself:

    You should take a look at jekyll + github integration

      +1 for this. GitHub + Jekyll makes it relatively easy to blog on GH. But you need to use something like Disqus for comments though.

    I am also following this blog by RSS. Agree with Jiri, without RSS I will miss most future posts :(

    Until I find a replacement, I will post an abstract on this site with a link.

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...
