Nashorn architecture and performance improvements in the upcoming JDK 8u40 release By lagergren on Dec 12, 2014 Hello everyone! We've been bad att blogging here for a while. Apologizes for that. I thought it would be prudent to talk a little bit about OpenJDK 8u40 which is now code frozen, and what enhancements we have made for Nashorn. 8u40 includes a total rewrite of the Nashorn code generator, which now contains the optimistic type system. JavaScript, or any dynamic language for that matter, doesn't have enough statically available type information to provide performant code, just by doing compile time analysis. That's why we have designed the new type system to get around this performance bottleneck. While Java bytecode, which is the output of the Nashorn JIT, is strongly typed and JavaScript isn't, there are problems translating the AST to optimal bytecode. Attila Szegedi, Hannes Wallnöfer and myself have spent significant time researching and implementing this the last year. Background: Conservatively, when implementing a JavaScript runtime in Java, anything known to be a number can be represented in Java as a double, and everything else can be represented as an Object. This includes numbers, ints, longs and other primitive types that aren't statically provable. Needless to say, this approach leads to a lot of internal boxing, which is quite a bottleneck for dynamic language execution speed on the JVM. The JVM is very good at optimizing Java-like bytecode, and this is not Java-like bytecode. Type transitions in the optimistic type system Our optimistic type system works by assuming that any statically unprovable type is an int, the narrowest possible of all types. If this turns out to be wrong in runtime, e.g. we load a field from memory/scope that turned out to be an Object or a double instead, or if we perform a 32-bit addition that overflows, we will replace the executing code with a more conservative version, that is regenerated on the fly. Nashorn supports simple continuations to facilitate code replacement at runtime. This is a feature that can have multiple other uses in the future, for example going back and forth between a hypothetical interpreter layer and compiled bytecode. We also specialize/guess how bytecode will look depending on what arguments are passed to a callsite at link time, with guards against these changing in the future. Octane benchmark scores, normalized on JDK 8. This makes the bytecode that we produce (when stable) contain optimal Java types for speedy execution. The cost for this (everything has a cost) is that we spend more time generating code, which affects things like warmup slightly negatively. Warmup is the major research area for JDK 9, and we are confident that we can solve this, and also customize the workload we give HotSpot to compile better, so that it spends its cycles cycles much more optimally. The day only has 24 hours, though, so we started out with the performance framework. In our efforts to turn Nashorn into a generic platform/runtime for dynamic languages for the JVM, the optimistic type system integrates nicely with whatever AST Nashorn is asked to generate code for. These plans will also solidy more for future Java releases, and we hope that Nashorn eventually will turn into a kind of "LLVM for dynamic languages on the JVM". The optimistic typing problem comes back to every dynamic language. To prove this, our excellent thesis student Andreas Gabrielsson has successfully implemented almost everything required to run TypeScript on Nashorn. At the time of this writing, modules in the only large feature missing. Nashorn goes directly to bytecode from TypeScript without generating JavaScript in a mid-level compiler tier. This is pretty awesome and shows how extensible Nashorn already is. We have thought about Ruby and Groovy running in a similar environment. Nashorn TypeScript is still not open sourced, but we hope we have the chance to do it soon. To run Nashorn with 8u40 and optimistic types, use the argument --optimistic-types=true. As we haven't had time to check in a solution to the warmup issues yet (it doesn't affect everything, but where issues remain it can be annoying), the optimistic type system is not yet the default behavior for Nashorn. This might be overly conservative, but we didn't want to break anyone's warmup unnecessarily. We can report several orders of magnitude on performance increase on things like the Octane benchmarks suite compared to previous releases. We can also report near native or native performance on the REST and HTTP benchmarks for the Avatar project. We feel pretty good about this. In several cases, JavaScript applications on Nashorn run as fast as the same application on a native runtime such as SpiderMonkey or v8. Needless to say, we are pretty proud of our work. Furthermore: Nashorn in JDK 8u40 also supports caching generated code and type information deduced at runtime to disk. This means that only the first iteration of a largish application with long warmup will be an issue. Consecutive runs of the same code will stabilize very quickly with the same good performance.

    Scala: A Functional, Object-Oriented Language COEN 171 Darren Atkinson What is Scala? Scala stands for Scalable Language It was created in 2004 by Martin Odersky. It was designed to grow with the demands of its users. It was designed to overcome many criticisms of Java. It is compiled to Java bytecode and is interoperable with existing Java classes and libraries. It is more of a high-level language than Java, having higher- order containers and iteration constructs built-in. It encourages a functional programming style, much like ML and Scheme. It also has advanced object-oriented features, much like Java and C++. Using Scala Using Scala is much like using Python or ML, and is not as unwieldy as using Java. The Scala interpreter can be invoked directly from the command line: $ scala Welcome to Scala 2.11.8 scala> println("Hi!") The Scala interpreter can also be given a file on the command line to execute: $ scala foo.scala Scala Syntax Scala has a Java-like syntax with braces. The assignment operator is simply =. Strings are built-in and use + for concatenation. Indexing is done using ( ) rather than [ ]. The first index is index zero. Parameterized types use [ ] rather than < >. A semicolon is inferred at the end of a line. However, since it is functional, everything is an expression and there are no “statements”. Scala Types In Java, the primitive types are not objects and wrapper classes must be used. Integer for int, Boolean for bool, etc. In Scala, everything is an object including the more “primitive” types. The Scala types are Int, Boolean, String, etc.

The three languages are Clojure, Java, and Scala. First, I will briefly describe JVM and the three languages. Then I will evaluate the languages based on essential characteristics and desirable characteristics. The essential characteristics I use for evaluating programming languages are: ● Well defined syntactic and semantic definition of language ● Reliability ● Fast translation ● Machine independence The desirable characteristics are: ● Generality ● Consistency with commonly used notations ● Uniformity ● Extensibility (ease to add features) Java Virtual Machine1 The Java Virtual Machine(JVM) is a virtual machine used for executing Java bytecode. JVM is part of Java Runtime Environment(JRE) along with Java Class library. JRE is available on multiple platforms including Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. The features of JVM include garbage collection and a JIT compiler. A programming language with functionality expressed in valid class files and able to be hosted by JVM is called a JVM language. When choosing to create a new programming language one might choose to create a JVM language to take advantage of the features of JVM.

  • Implementing Novice Friendly Error Messages in Clojure
    Implementing Novice Friendly Error Messages in Clojure Charlot Shaw Computer Science Discipline University of Minnesota Morris Morris, MN 56267 [email protected] March 17, 2018 Abstract Clojures promise as an educational language taught to first time programmers is limited by its error messages, which show its Java underpinnings. The messages are generated by the Java code executing the Clojure program, and thus are focused on the state of the Java implementation of Clojure, which hides the details about the issue in the users code. By using these messages, along with the information obtained via Clojure.Spec contracts, error messages can be reformatted into a beginner friendly, near plain-language representation. By integrating the re-formatting code into Clojures nREPL middleware system, the trans- formation can be accomplished without disturbing programmers’ workflow, and be easily incorporated into Integrated Development Environments. We present a proof of concept implementation integrating beginner friendly error messages into Clojure via nREPL. 1 Introduction Clojure [2], amongst other functional languages, has gained attention in recent years in part for its management of state and concurrency. Running on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), Clojure has a number of advantages for beginning students. Its Lisp style syntax and elegant core library work together to let beginners learn easily, while its ties to the JVM keep it relevant as students progress into later courses. However, from an educational perspective, it has a significant flaw in the form of error messages. As Clojure code runs in the JVM, its errors take the structure and terminology of Java error messages, and so are confusing to new students.

  • Design and Implementation of a Java Bytecode Manipulation Library for Clojure
    Journal of Information Processing Vol.23 No.5 716–729 (Sep. 2015) [DOI: 10.2197/ipsjjip.23.716] Regular Paper Design and Implementation of a Java Bytecode Manipulation Library for Clojure Seiji Umatani1,a) Tomoharu Ugawa2 Masahiro Yasugi3 Received: November 14, 2014, Accepted: March 17, 2015 Abstract: Recently, the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) has become widely used as a common execution platform for various applications. There is often the need to manipulate bytecodes at class-load time, particularly in application domains that demand dynamic modification of program behaviors. Whereas several bytecode manipulation tools for Java exist for implementing such behaviors, JVM is also the platform for various modern programming languages, and there is no need to write bytecode manipulation programs exclusively in Java. In this paper, we propose a novel bytecode manipulation library for Clojure, a Lisp dialect running on JVM. Our library is as expressive and flexible as ASM, the de facto standard bytecode manipulation tool in Java, while enabling more concise representation of typical manipulation cases. Our library works at class-load time as a series of rewrites of (parts of) the tree representing the target class file, basically in a similar way to Lisp’s macro system. However, our library differs from Lisp’s macro system in the following significant respects. First, instead of matching a single name against the first item of the target form (tree), our library matches a tree pattern against the target tree itself during macro expansion so that users can de- fine rewriting rules for raw class files that cannot contain any special tags (names) for pattern matching.

Katsifodimos, TU Delft MSc Presentation: 13th May, 2019 An electronic version of this thesis is available at http://repository.tudelft.nl/. Abstract Today, a vast majority of big data processing platforms are imple- mented in JVM-based languages such as Java and Scala. The main reasons for the popularity of the JVM are: the write once, run ev- erywhere paradigm through the use of platform independent byte- code, automatic garbage collection, bytecode interpretation for fast start-up, JIT-compilation of hot code paths for fast JVM warm-up and runtime code optimization. While these features are well suited for traditional Java applications in embedded systems, application servers and enterprise middleware, the characteristics of big data processing applications force us to examine the efficiency of existing JVM features. Modern big data platforms dwarf the size of the user programs that implement the actual application requiring the loading of 1000s of framework classes per JVM to run a task. Furthermore, these applications instantiate mostly the same identical classpath over and over thus multiplying the time required to load the classes and the memory required to store the class metadata in the JVM.
