Java is not what we think of immediately when it comes to low-latency applications - this is typically the realm of C/C++/Rust, etc. In E6data, we use Java in many parts of the engine and have successfully used it in cases where we need high performance and low latency.

In this talk, we explore some of the techniques we use in E6data to achieve low latencies.

These techniques will range from techniques to minimise GC, writing CPU cache efficient code, threading and concurrency techniques, benchmarking and profiling, etc.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

1. Get an insight into some of the techniques for achieving low latency in modern CPU hardware

2. Explore how we could implement some of these techniques in Java

AUDIENCE:

Developers / enthusiasts working on applications with low latency characteristics or just interested in how would one achieve low latency.
