[code lang=”java”] package org.kari.test.string; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.OutputStreamWriter; import java.nio.charset.Charset; import org.apache.log4j.Logger; import org.kari.log.LogUtil; import org.kari.util.DirectByteArrayOutputStream; /** * Test UTF8 conversion * * @author kari */ public class UTF8Test { public static final Logger LOG = LogUtil.getLogger(”utf8”); private static final…

Compressed oops in the Hotspot JVM Big Question is why to bother? And the answer is Cache. In other words, using shorter pointers allows fitting more data into processor caches, which improves performance considerably. References: 32-bit or 64-bit JVM? How about a Hybrid? <a href=”http://blog.juma.me.uk/2009/04/03/load-unsigned-and-better-compressed-oops/”>Load unsigned and better Compressed Oops

If system needs to process lots of short strings, which actually quite often are same, then using some dictionary to map strings into compact unique identifiers can improve memory usage and performance quite a bit. [code lang=”java”] package org.kari.test.string; import gnu.trove.TObjectIntHashMap; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; /** * Dictionary mapping strings int compact identifiers * *…

Open Source Database Engines in Java Hmm…. H2? When developing software with Java, why anyone would bother with non-Java DB, i.e. all the problems with native library compatibility and such (32bit/64bit, Linux/Windows/etc., M$XP/M$Vista/M$7/…)? Especially interesting sounds the possibility to embed DB into java process, thus avoiding having separate process and socket (or such) communication with…

every line of code should be commented Easy. 10 lines, no comments. After writing a couple of million lines of code, the more code I write, the more I unwind it. Somewhere along the line, adolescent programmers got the idea that jamming all your logic into as few unreadable lines as possible is the fastest…

When wondering strange performance issues in socket IO, I peeked into native code in input stream, and noticed that logic is following: 1) If buffer is smaller (or equal) to 8KB then use stack 2) If not then malloc() Since memory allocation is not ever free, it sounds possible that such memory allocation can cause…
