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 👉 www.tornadovm.org/blogs/tornad... #OpenSource #Java #AI #GPU

Great to see @tornadovm.org and @jitllm.io hit #1 on Hacker News!” Check out the latest article on @infoq.com by @ogkittylyst.bsky.social : www.infoq.com/news/2026/10...

Had so much fun at #JDD 2026 in Kraków yesterday. I presented “Java Goes CUDA-Native”: new @tornadovm.org features that let @jitllm.io run LLM inference at GPU-native speed, from Java. tornadovm.org jitllm.io #opensource #Java #TornadoVM #GPU #AI

Yesterday my colleagues @maryxek.bsky.social and @mikepapadim.bsky.social showed live demos about using NVIDIA cuFFT and cuBLAS with @tornadovm.org for signal filtering and @jitllm.io! NVIDIA performance is a jar away from Java. #Java #CUDA #TornadoVM

With the latest #TornadoVM version you can accelerate end-to-end Apache #Flink pipelines on the GPUs with native #LLM inference. No Python, no external APIs, all in one deployable jar!

All talks from the first day of #devoxx that took place in the cinema rooms are now online 🎥🍿🔥 #enjoy www.youtube.com/@DevoxxForev...

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 Apache Flink and @jitllm.io. Watch our talk in @devoxx.com 👇 youtu.be/6SPnBmQrYEk?... #opensource #AI #TornadoVM #Java #GPU

📣 New Press Release: AXHEL, an open-source C++ library from @DII_Pisa accelerating the arithmetic behind Homomorphic Encryption on AArch64. 👉 aero-project.eu/wp-content/u... Repo: github.com/AERO-Project-EU/AXHEL @hipeac.bsky.social @eucloudedgeiot.bsky.social #opensource #he #encryption

Last week, at ApplePies Conference 2026, the Department of Information Engineering at the University of Pisa presented new results from our project on #FPGA acceleration for #homomorphicencryption. Read the preprint: zenodo.org/records/2277...

New #TornadoVM release, and it's JVMCI-free. 📌No more separate jdk25 branch, no back-syncing every PR from develop - one build for JDK 21–27. 📌Native code also migrated from JNI to Panama's FFM API - 7.5k lines of C++ gone. Kudos to all contributors! 👏 #opensource #Java #GPU #AI

TornadoVM is now modernized and forwards compatible with any JDK > 21 while receiving significant performance boosts! Can't wait to see those benefits translating to our AI inference engine in our next release!

TornadoVM 6.0.0 is here - JVMCI-free and JNI-free. ✅ Compatible with any JDK 21-27 distribution. ✅ Cold start down 37%. ✅ 4.1× faster GEMM with Tensor-Core MMA. ✅ ~7,400 lines of C/C++ glue deleted. 📖 New blog: www.tornadovm.org/blogs/tornad... #Java #GPU #CUDA #TornadoVM #OpenSource #HPC #AI
