Recent Java News: New OpenJDK
Oracle Java architect Paul Sandoz submitted JEP Draft 8326878, Vector API (Incubator). After seven incubation rounds from JDK 16 to JDK 22, this JEP proposes to re-incubate the API in JDK 23, with no API changes or substantial implementation changes compared with JDK 22. This feature will introduce an API for expressing vector computations that reliably compile at runtime to optimal vector instructions on supported CPU architectures, thus achieving performance superior to equivalent scalar computations.
