Yes.
Azul uses LLVM as its last tier JIT compiler now :)
I don't think anyone is going to argue they don't have the fastest JVM around.
See http://www.infoworld.com/article/3193078/java/azul-introduces-llvm-compiler-to-java-runtime.html http://www.infoworld.com/article/3193078/java/azul-introduce...
The performance numbers they give are:
" Falcon bests Oracle's HotSpot Java platform by anywhere from 5 to 250 percent in production performance, depending on the application, according to Azul. "
- tanilama 9y agoAnd you forget to quote: > Based on the LLVM compiler platform, designed for server workloads, and optimized for recent Intel and AMD architectures Server and mobile application have vastly different assumption of workload and metrics to take a look at. However, this announcement definitely better than OP's vague performance claim, which I agree. But as I said, there is no proof at this point, that LLVM based implementation on Android improve the the performance. Quite on the contrary, Google include LLVM in 5.0 then remove it later: https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-technical-details-of-the-Android-ART-runtime-introduced-in-Android-4-4/answers/10044855?srid=XwOv https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-technical-details-of-the-... And it was never used as the primary option anyway. So there is definitely not enough confidence to claim the superiority, until somehow make it work in the first place.
