I'll also work on revising the current intrinsic implementation so it is presented via Unsafe (which should be fairly simple to achieve). > It intersects with https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8153111 > ((bf) Allocating ByteBuffer on heterogeneous memory), which is > attempting to be more generic. Ok, thanks. I'll have a think about how we night try to integrate these two approaches and see what I can work into the draft JEP. > We might also need to increase the velocity on > https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8180628 (retrofit direct > buffer support for size beyond gigabyte scales), and i would be very > interested your views on this, how you might be currently working > around such size limitations, and what buffer enhancements would work > for you. I think Jonathan answered that better than I can in his response. However, if this accelerates delivery of a fix for JDK-8180628 then all to the good. regards, Andrew Dinn ----------- Senior Principal Software Engineer Red Hat UK Ltd Registered in England and Wales under Company Registration No. 03798903 Directors: Michael Cunningham, Michael ("Mike") O'Neill, Eric Shander
