A practical guide to thread-safe native memory access in Java using VarHandle access modes, covering Plain, Opaque, Acquire/Release, and Volatile with JCStress tests to prove each guarantee.

A practical guide to managing native memory in Java using the Foreign Function & Memory API, covering Arenas, manual allocation, pooling, and slicing

In this post, we dive into how to perform pointer arithmetic using the Foreign Function & Memory API to achieve zero-GC memory access.

The first part where we introduce project Panama and show some of the basics.

A simple helper class that makes Foreign Function Interface calls much nicer to work with.

In this post, we take a look at how to benchmark Java code

In this post we cover how to use the memory segments introduced in Java 22

In this post we cover how to throw, catch, and handle different kind of built in and self made exceptions

When I first started exploring Virtual Threads in Java, I wanted to understand everything about them like, performance characteristics, when they yield, and limitations.

In this post, we look at how to do Java development for Linux while working on Mac OS.
