Is graal VM going to be part of a future JDK release?

[Thomas Wuerthinger]

Vitaly,

Graal has a very different design from C2 and therefore it has distinct performance characteristics. We invite developers to try our latest OTN release [1] on their applications and give us feedback.

The largest three distinguishing factors are: 
a) Guard optimizations for efficient handling of speculative code - this has its biggest impact on the JavaScript, Ruby [2], and R [3] implementations built on Graal’s multi-language framework Truffle.
b) Partial escape analysis to reduce object allocations even if the object escapes on some paths.
c) Improved inlining strategy that explores the call tree and performs late inlining as default instead of inlining during bytecode parsing.

We expect to publish a new improved version of Graal in another OTN release in the next couple of months.

Regards, thomas
