Description Kristof Szabados CLA 2020-12-14 04:41:44 EST 
I have recently run into an interesting new tool called TornadoVM.
The developers claim that it is just like a normal Java VM, but is able to automatically translate the code to graphic cards ... enabling large parformance improvements.

I believe Titan should try it out, to see if the Java side could benefit from this.
Right now the Java side is faster than the C side for normal testing scenarios.
But if the encoder/decoder functions could be run on graphic cards (automatically if present), that could boost the Java side to be the primary platform for performance testing scenarios too.
