After 10 years of lessons learned,@tornadovm introduces its own lean, modern Java-to-GPU compiler written in pure Java, no Graal or JVMCI dependencies. With AOT support, Leyden and @graalvm Native Image readiness, and improved compiler tooling. Apache 2.0 licenced.
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

Great to see @tornadovm on the top of the @ycombinator today! The article has all of the latest work on accessing @nvidia libraries from Java!

Honoured to receive the Best Paper Award at #INLG2026! 🎉🍾
Our survey, led by my student @tylerl404, reveals a striking gap between AI practitioners and the public: practitioners are more optimistic, yet nearly half still see AI’s societal impact as negative
@csmcr @inlgmeeting
Happy to announce that my paper with @chenghua_lin "Do as I Say, Not as You Do: Assessing Public Versus Practitioner Perspectives on the Development of Artificial Intelligence and Language Technologies" won Best Paper at @inlgmeeting! @sltcdt #NLP Paper: bit.ly/4iaeier

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.

96.65 tokens/sec for #Llama 3.2 1B – running through a pure-#Java GPU inference engine. @mikepapadim explores GPULlama3.java & #TornadoVM and how they bring GPU-accelerated #LLM inference to the #JVM.

LLM Inference on GPU in Java?
@tornadovm and @jitllm at @Devoxx Belgium!
* Java writing Java that runs on the GPU. Java for the GPU, on the GPU!.
* A @QuarkusIO @langchain4j application reviewing it's future port to Quarkus 4 locally, all in Java on GPU!

TornadoVM has a new family member! #jitLLM provides blazing fast AI inference at native speed⚡️👇
Can Java compete with llama.cpp/@ollama? YES! With @jitLLM!
jitLLM uses @nvidia CUDA libraries (cuBLAS, cuDNN) and reaches 0.90× to 1.12× of llama.cpp's throughput!
jitLLM is empowered by @tornadovm and will be soon in @langchain4j and @QuarkusIO.

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 👇

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.

Next week we will be in @Devoxx and speak about @tornadovm, @jitllm and how we accelerate Java on GPUs, using @nvidia native libraries!
Come and talk to us, to learn more!

TornadoVM 7.0.0 is out!
New TileContext API: Write #GPU kernels from #Java in tiles, not threads, via @nvidia cuTile model. The compiler picks threads, shared memory and Tensor Cores.
Mixes with Parallel API, KernelContext & cuBLAS in one TaskGraph.

A new TileContext API in TornadoVM's CUDA backend! Write tile kernels in plain Java and let @nvidia's cuTile compiler pick the threads, layouts and tensor-core instructions. No PTX, no warps.
PR is open - feedback welcome 👇

#Java #TornadoVM #GPU
@tornadovm now has a cuTile backend from Java.
Write a Java kernel with the new TileContext API → compiled to CUDA Tile C++ → tileIR picks the layout and HMMA
Then chain it with JIT'd CUDA kernels and a @nvidia libraries in One CUDA Graph.

Big leap forward for Tornadovm, as it moves into a JVMCI and JNI free era by adapting FFM. All new updates will be @Devoxx in Belgium along how we enable more @nvidia features to the JVM!
