Zing Adds Java SE 8 Support

city of london
Zing now supports the latest release of the language.

The platform, which aims to eliminate the needs for cumbersome "warming up" procedures via its ReadyNow technology, has expanded its supported Linux versions with RHEL 7.0 and above, as well as Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

Java Virtual Machines (JVM) are common within the financial sector, but often require a period before peak activity where they are spooled up for peak usage. This is usually achieved through feeding fake data into the program in order to optimize it ─ Java, as a language, is designed to initialize quickly but build up into smooth usage as it goes, which is inconvenient for the rapid pace of market movements.

"With Zing 14.09, we are greatly extending the flexibility of the JVM and are delivering the ‘holy grail' of solutions to solve Java's warm-up problem", says Scott Sellers, co-founder and CEO at Azul. "The new Zing release extends the benefits of ReadyNow technology for use in a variety of latency-sensitive domains, including financial-trading systems and real-time risk analytics, web-scale applications, telecommunications, and other segments requiring consistent, low-latency execution."

ReadyNow mitigates the potential for wrong-scenario booting, where the JVM is optimized for a specific set of circumstances but those change due to market or operational conditions. Its historical scenario capabilities allow it to "learn" compiler decisions previously, enhancing the ability to reach peak optimization faster than is otherwise possible with JVMs. The Zing product also assists with so-called garbage collection, where the JVM must deleted bad sectors of memory during intensive load, introducing latency into the software chain.
