Interested in reading about #programming hardware accelerators via managed runtimes? Our new #book analyses the challenges of utilising heterogeneous hardware from a managed runtime environment along with several information about #heterogeneous programming models!

The goal behind the new feature of #TornadoInsight shipped in 2.1.0, is to use LLMs to transform plain #Java methods into #GPU-accelerated @tornadovm tasks, all without leaving @intellijidea. And every kernel is verified against the original method before you accept it.

TornadoInsight 2.1.0 is out 🌪️

New (experimental): #AI turns a plain #Java method into a #TornadoVM kernel, then runs it on your #GPU and checks it against the original.

Black-Scholes on an Apple M4 Pro: 25× faster than Java.

#IntelliJ @intellijidea

New @TornadoVM release, v8.0.0 is coming with support for ahead-of-time compilation via @graalvm Native Image and Project Leyden.

Huge leap for the project! Kudos to all contributors! 🙌

TornadoVM 8.0.0 is out 🌪️

After 10 years: thank you, Graal. Java kernels are now compiled by TC, our own pure-Java compiler to CUDA, OpenCL and Metal.

• AOT ready
• No JVMCI
• Now Apache 2.0
• Your code doesn't change

Had so much fun at @JDD_Krakow 2026 in Kraków yesterday.

I presented “Java Goes CUDA-Native”: new @tornadovm features that let @jitLLM run LLM inference at GPU-native speed, from Java.

Yesterday my colleagues @MXekalaki and @mikepapadim showed live demos about using @nvidia cuFFT and cuBLAS with @tornadovm for signal filtering and @jitllm!

NVIDIA performance is a jar away from Java.

TornadoVM @tornadovm Oct 7

Optimized GPU libraries (e.g. cuBLAS, cuDNN, etc.) by @nvidia, now one jar away for your Java - without caring about JNI.

We also show demos with @ApacheFlink and @jitllm.

Watch our talk in @Devoxx 👇
