πŸš€ Java meets GPU acceleration - see you on the road!

Over the next two months, our team will be sharing how our #opensource #Java technologies unlock #GPU acceleration for Java #AI at conferences across Europe and beyond.

Come chat with us, attend our talks and dive into the future of Java + GPUs.

Check out this #TornadoVM webinar given by Thanos Stratikopoulos last week, explaining how TornadoVM is used in our project to accelerate Java algorithms for the analysis of space data from the #GAIAMission.

Well worth a watch if you’re interested in #Java, #GPU & scientific computing.

Adoptium Webinar  GPU Accelerated Java with TornadoVM and Temurin JDK 21
YouTube video by Eclipse Adoptium Adoptium Webinar GPU Accelerated Java with TornadoVM and Temurin JDK 21

In this @adoptium.net webinar, we showed how #TornadoVM runs seamlessly with Eclipse Temurin JDK 21, enabling the offloading of #Java compute-intensive workloads (e.g. #LLM inference) to #GPUs - without writing low-level GPU code.
