JXInsight Probes and Azul Systems Compute Appliance

We are just about to publish have published a new early access build of JXInsight 5.7 which includes new probe meters based on Azul specific counters (waiting, blocking, cpu time, cpu wait time, wall clock time).

What is so exciting about this integration is that access to the counters is performed locally in the Azul server runtime (compute appliance) and does not involve a network call back to the native agent running in the proxy runtime which all other profiling solutions would perform.

We can now out perform other solutions by at least 1,000x – 1 ms (round trip) versus 1 microsecond local counter access.

This was possible because our Probes runtime is not coupled to a specific instrumentation technology or single meter (clock time or cpu time). With JXInsight you choose the appropriate instrumentation technology (native or not) and one or more of the 20+ meters we support today.

The power of good API design!
