Michalis Papadimitriou from the University of Manchester presented the latest updates on TornadoVM at the JCON Conference. TornadoVM is an open-source technology developed within the AERO project to enable Java applications to run efficiently on heterogeneous hardware accelerators in a programmer-friendly way.
The presentation outlined TornadoVM’s programming model and provided practical guidelines for developers on migrating existing Java codebases to TornadoVM-compatible versions that can run on multicore CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs.
He also showcased GPULlama3.java, a Java-native LLM implementation that leverages TornadoVM to access GPUs.
