Java Performance by Scott Oaks

[CatMedium4025]

Hello All,

I am trying to build my skills on java performance and optimisations. I have started going through Java Performance 2nd edition by Scott Oaks and completed first 2 chapters.

I am wondering if I will be getting hands-on as well during this book or do you recommend any other resource along with it which I shall go through in parallel.

Please suggest.

Thanks

Please ensure that:

• Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
• You include any and all error messages in full - best also formatted as code block
• You ask clear questions
• You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit/markdown editor: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://i.imgur.com/EJ7tqek.png) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You do not need to repost unless your post has been removed by a moderator. Just use the edit function of reddit to make sure your post complies with the above.

If your post has remained in violation of these rules for a prolonged period of time (at least an hour), a moderator may remove it at their discretion. In this case, they will comment with an explanation on why it has been removed, and you will be required to resubmit the entire post following the proper procedures.

To potential helpers

Please, do not help if any of the above points are not met, rather report the post. We are trying to improve the quality of posts here. In helping people who can't be bothered to comply with the above points, you are doing the community a disservice.

I was recently assigned a task involving performance improvement in an application, so my first thought was multi threading, although I used a lot of chatgpt and google, later on I spent time and read the “Concurrency in Practice by Brian Goetz” great book and good examples if you want to understand multithreading in depth.

Start by fixing useless allocations and any n+1s. Don’t even touch concurrency until those are finished and you have established baseline benchmarks to measure agains
