A peek under the covers:
How we optimize Java code for z Systems

Java Runtime Compilation : trade off effort and benefit
 The VM searches the JAR, loads and verifies bytecodes to
internal representation, runs bytecode form directly
 After many invocations (or via sampling) code gets
compiled at ‘cold’ or ‘warm’ level
 An internal, low overhead sampling thread is used to
identify frequently used methods
 Methods may get recompiled at ‘hot’ or ‘scorching’ levels
(for more optimizations)
 Transition to ‘scorching’ goes through a temporary profiling
step
cold
hot
scorching
profiling
interpreter
warm
Results can be stored for future runs and shared across invocations
Xshareclasses
Java's intermediate bytecodes are compiled as required and based on runtime profiling
- code is compiled 'just in time' as required
- dynamic compilation can determine the target machine capabilities and app's demands

Example
Optimization level Code Size (bytes) Compilation Time
(ms)
Wall clock runtime (ms)
Cold 139 2.2 31,685
Warm 265 4.9 10,078
Hot 436 8.9 7,765
Profiling 1,322 9.0 n/a
Scorching 578 11.0 6,187
public static int x = 55;
public static int compute(int i, int j, int[] a, int count) {
int k = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
k = k + j + a[i] + (x * foo());
}
return k;
}
public static int foo() {
return 75;
}
Xjit:count=<n>, exclude={<method>}, limitFile=(<filename>, <m>, <n>),
optlevel=[ noOpt | cold | warm | hot | veryHot | scorching ], verbose[={compileStart|
compileEnd}], vlog=<filename>

IBM z13: SMT – Simultaneous Multi -Threading
SMT permits multiple independent threads to execute on a single core concurrently
• Achieve more effectively utilization of processor resources
z13 SMT allows 2 threads-per-core to deliver better overall throughput for multiple
concurrent workloads
• Increases effective zIIP/IFL capacity
• Doubles number of eligible threads
Threads share resources – may impact single thread perf
• Pipeline (eg. physical registers, fxu, fpu, lsu etc)
• Cache
Throughput improvement is workload dependent
Two zIIP lanes handle more traffic overall
4ASZ-2026 : Reasons to Love IBM Java and WebSphere Application Server on z Systems

IBM z13: Vector Processing
SIMD – Single Instruction Multiple Data
Operate on multiple data-elements (vectors) simultaneously
• Can offer dramatic speed-up to data-parallel operations (matrix ops,
string processing, etc)
5ASZ-2026 : Reasons to Love IBM Java and WebSphere Application Server on z Systems
Vector registers are 128-bits wide and can be used
to operate concurrently on:
• Two 64-bit floating point values
• Four 32-bit floating point values
• Sixteen 8-bit characters
• Two 64-bit integer values
• etc

Acceleration using SIMD with
IBM Java 8 and z13
IBM z13 running Java 8 on z/OS
Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) vector engine exploitation
java.lang.String exploitation
- compareTo
- compareToIgnoreCase
- contains
- contentEquals
- equals
- indexOf
- lastIndexOf
- regionMatches
- toLowerCase
- toUpperCase
- getBytes
java.util.Arrays
- equals (primitive types)
String encoding converters
For ISO8859-1, ASCII, UTF8, and UTF16
- encode (char2byte)
- decode (byte2har)
Auto-SIMD
- Simple loops
(eg. Matrix multiplication)
Primitive operations are between 1.6x and 60x faster with IBM Java8
(Controlled measurement environment, results may vary)

Data Access Accelerator (DAA) – in a nutshell
Data-centric tasks such as big data, analytics and inter-language communication require
optimal performance for accessing and operating on native format data records and
types from Java. Prefer to avoid object creation, data copying, abstraction, boxing etc
DAA provides a Java library for bare-bones data conversion, arithmetic etc.
Provides native-oriented operations directly on Java byte arrays
Orchestrated with JIT for deep platform optimization
➔
No intermediate Java objects created when recognized by the IBM JIT
➔
Avoid expensive Java object instantiation by allowing in-place operations
Benefits:
Expose hardware acceleration in a platform and JVM-neutral manner (2 – 100x speed-up)
Can provide significant speed-up to record parsing frameworks
Can provide significant speed-up for data marshalling and inter-language
communication

Data Access Accelerator – example
Problem: there is no intrinsic representation of a “packed decimal” in Java
Solution: trivially add two packed decimals by converting to BigDecimal:
Step 1: convert from byte[] to BigDecimal
Step 2 : add BigDecimals together
Step 3: convert BigDecimal result back to byte[]
●
IBM Java provides a helper method to do this operation for you:
Old Approach:
byte[] addPacked(byte[] a, byte[] b) {
BigDecimal a_bd = convertPackedToBd(a[]);
BigDecimal b_bd = convertPackedToBd(b[]);
a_bd.add(b_bd);
return (convertBDtoPacked(a_bd));
}
BigDecimal convertPackedToBd(byte[] myBytes) {
… ~30 lines …
}
New Approach:
byte[] addPacked(byte[] a, byte[] b) {
DAA.addPacked(a[], b[]);
return (a[]);
}
e.g. you wish to add two packed decimal numbers
p.s. zSeries hardware has packed decimal machine instructions, e.g. AP (AddPacked)
On IBM Java 7 Release 1, “DAA.addPacked(a,b)” is compiled to this one instruction!
