Firstly this is not a Java bashing and I don’t preach to say .NET/C++, etc is faster. However, based on what I have seen it sure is slow – slow like a snail. Maybe its the time that takes to load the VM or maybe it Swing – gurk! I like how Andy puts it – “One man’s feature is another man’s bloat”. He has a very objective article on the area which are slow, what Sun is doing to address it and what the main issues (with the developers) are – who don’t know how to use it. He talks about the Memory, JVM, Desktop and Java2D

The sooner we all understand the Concurrency ≠ CEP (Complex Event Processing), the better the world will be! CEP is generally used when we implement real-time systems (of course that is not the only area where CEP is used). Real-time does not mean concurrent or for that matter high-performing system. Of course there are correlations, but at the same time they are fundamentally different paradigms.... - March 17, 2012 -- What I am working on today? Optimisation Algorithms (0)
I often get the question – a what am I working on today? Some of the things I can’t discuss in an open forum, but some I can. Those that I can, I thought it was best to share via my blog and do quick small posts on it. Will this become a new series? Well time will tell – depends on how much bandwidth I will have. This weekend, I am researching Optimisation Algorithms – both Deterministic and Probabilistic. Specifically interested in Swarm Intelligence (which are a type of Monte Carlo algorithm)... - June 16, 2011 -- Occasionally Connected Architecture (0)
When implementing an occasionally connected architecture for a solution, there are three fundamental requirements: Part of the overall solution, some smart client is deployed and installed on the desktop and a web only approach is not possible. The main rational being that a smart client can work in a disconnected mode which of course with a web application is not possible. Underlying infrastructure needs to be in place to support this. Infrastructure is not specifically networks and ser...
