SUMMARY:Seminar: "Java Code Reflection for Targeting Foreign Programming Languages" by Juan Fumero
DESCRIPTION:Title: Java Code Reflection for Targeting Foreign Programming LanguagesSubtitle: Enabling GPU Acceleration from Java \n\n\n\nAbstract:Project Babylon is a new OpenJDK initiative to extend Java’s reflection APIs thatallow reflection of Java code. This project enables developers to reflect over Javamethods and lambdas\, obtain their symbolic representations (code models)\, andquery or transform them at runtime. With code models\, developers can modify code\,apply optimizations\, and translate Java into other programming models withoutrelying on third‑party libraries.A key exploration area in Babylon is GPU enablement via HAT (HeterogeneousAccelerator Toolkit)\, which targets CUDA and OpenCL environments. In this talk\, wewill dive into Babylon’s core abstractions for inspecting and manipulating Java codeat runtime\, then demonstrate how code reflection can be used to offload parallelworkloads to GPUs and enabling more efficient and hardware-acceleratedexecutions directly from Java. \n\n\n\nBio:Juan Fumero is a Software Developer at Oracle working at the Java Platform Group.His expertise relies on the interaction of managed runtime programmingenvironments and hardware accelerators\, focusing on Just-In-Time compilation\,runtime optimisations and API design for programming Graphics Processing Units(GPUs).Before joining Oracle\, he was a Research Fellow at The University of Manchester\,where he focused on accelerating Java data parallel applications on modernhardware like GPUs and FPGAs. Notably\, he led the development of the TornadoVMproject. Furthermore\, he has worked on multiple EU projects\, such as AERO\, andE2Data\, and collaborated with Intel to integrate Intel Level Zero and oneAPI into theTornadoVM compilation stack.He holds a PhD from The University of Edinburgh\, where his research focused onaccelerating interpreted programming languages (like Java\, R\, and Ruby) on GPUsvia JIT compilation and runtime optimisations.Earlier in his career\, he interned at both CERN and Oracle Labs. Moreover\, Juan ishighly active in the tech community\, frequently speaking at conferences (such asQCon\, Devoxx\, and JVMLS). He is also an Intel oneAPI Innovator and participates inseveral standardization groups\, including the RISC-V J Extension Group.
