Presenting at JavaOne and Oracle Open World

Once again I'll be presenting at Oracle Open World, and JavaOne. You can search the full catalogue on the web. The details of my two talks are:

Engineering Insights: Best Practices for Optimizing Oracle Software for Oracle Hardware [CON8108]

Oracle Solaris Studio is an indispensable toolset for optimizing key Oracle software running on Oracle hardware. This presentation steps through a series of case studies from real Oracle applications, illustrating how the various Oracle Solaris Studio development tools have proven instrumental in ensuring that Oracle software is fully tuned and optimized for Oracle hardware. Learn the secrets of how Oracle uses these powerful compilers and performance, memory, and thread analysis tools to write optimal, well-tested enterprise code for Oracle hardware, and hear about best practices you can use to optimize your existing applications for the latest Oracle systems.

Java Performance: Hardware, Structures, and Algorithms [CON2654]

Many developers consider the deployment platform to be a black box that the JVM abstracts away. In reality, this is not the case. The characteristics of the hardware do have a measurable impact on the performance of any Java application. In this session, two Java Rock Star presenters explore how hardware features influence the performance of your application. You will not only learn how to measure this impact but also find out how to improve the performance of your applications by writing hardware-friendly code.
