Many new Java runtime optimizations report relatively small, single-digit performance improvements. On modern virtual and actual hardware, however, the performance impact of an op...
Optimization of a real world application BLAST is used to demonstrate the limitations of static and profile-guided optimizations and to highlight the potential of runtime optimiz...
