[aarch64-port-dev ] Fireside-chat, Thursday 12th October

[Stuart Monteith]

Hello,
  Unfortunately Andrew couldn't join us. We had Joel Jones, Derek
White,  noname01 (?), Dmitrij Pochepko and Dmitry Chuyko.

Summary of what was discussed:

>From http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/0
   http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/8185640 Thread-local handshakes
      Derek raised this as something that would require an Aarch64
implementation. Initially sounded similar to Roman Kennke's work,
       It's aimed at just one platform - x86.

   http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/8189100 Improve performance of String
and Array operations on AArch64
   http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/8189104 Improve performance of
trigonometric and power functions on AArch64

Panama and Valhall - There was some concern over VectorTypes presented
by Intel. What should we do about this?
Testing - performance testing by Dmitry being done on Cavium and A53
platforms, but needs confirmation on others.

I've suggested we meet (again, sorry) at the same time on Monday, or,
failing that, on Thursday.


BR,
   Stuart
