Oracle seeks Java performance boost, joins HSA Foundation

2013-11-13 14:00:23| InfoWorld: Top News

Oracle has joined the industry consortium HSA Foundation, which is developing standards to make it easier for programmers to take advantage of GPUs and other processor types for faster code execution. The Heterogeneous System Architecture Foundation is developing a set of open-source programming tools that will make it easier for programmers to harness the joint power of CPUs, graphics processing units (GPUs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and digital signal processors for better system performance.

HSA targets native parallel execution in Java virtual machines by 2015

2013-08-26 14:34:28| InfoWorld: Top News

Industry consortium HSA Foundation intends to bring native support for parallel acceleration in Java virtual machines, which would make it easier to tap into multiple processors like graphics processors to speed up code execution. HSA Foundation is in the process of developing an open hardware and software specification which will allow software to be written once and deployed easily across PCs, servers, gaming consoles, and mobile devices. Right now overlays are needed for Java code to reach a co-processor like a GPU.
