GraalVM 20.3 has been released. GraalVM is a high-performance cross-language virtual machine created by Oracle. It supports running JavaScript, Python 3, Ruby, R, JVM-based languages (such as Java, Scala, and Kotlin), and LLVM-based languages such as C and C++.
The new version continues to explore to achieve better performance and faster startup speed for virtual machines. In version 20.3, the team implemented a lot of optimizations for GraalVM, by eliminating/delaying class loading from libgraal to shorten the startup time of Java workloads, better understanding of containers through its native image code on Linux, and improving isolation compilation Support (application and runtime compiler are independent), and continuous performance optimization work.
The 20.3 version also includes many small performance optimizations and optimizations to reduce memory usage. GraalVM's LLVM tool chain has also been updated for LLVM 10.0.
See the release note for detailed update instructions , and the new version of the build is available through GitHub .
