Vacation!

I have been waiting for almost 2 years to create a blog.. and finally my dream came true..

Yes! it's vacation! I had so many plans after I completed the exam in June. I was bit scared about the exam as I couldn't try my best at the exam. I got my results this month and I'm happy about my marks.

One of my plans was to create my own blog.. I'm very much inspired by some of my friends' blogs and I wanted my own blog badly. Actually, I'm writing this post after 19 days creating this blog.

I didn't get much "free time" as expected. These days I'm very busy with my office work. Sometimes, I fed up with programming, as I'm staring at the monitor 10 hours per day! But I enjoy what I'm doing. These days we're developing a web application using ICEfaces, Spring and Websphere eXtreme Scale. Working with new technology is always very interesting. But I'm exhausted.....

Best thing happened in this vacation was our batch trip. We all went to Nuwara-eliya on 19th July and came back on 20th. It was the first night I spent alone outside home. Nuwara-eliya is always a best place for a holiday.

Best moment was the time I spent near the "lake", which was near the bungalow we stayed.

It was very cold and drizzling.. and water coming with the wind from lake.. wow.. it was a great experience.

I wish I could spend more time there..

We all had so much fun... and it was a great trip!

I must thank all my friends for encouraging me to join the trip.. Special thanks for the organizers of the trip........

Finding how many processors

I wanted to find out the processor details in my laptop and I found out that there are several ways to check. For example, see The RedHat community discussion on  Figuring out CPUs and Sockets . In this blog post, I'm listing few commands to find out details about CPUs. I'm using Ubuntu in my Lenovo ThinkPad T530 laptop and following commands should be working any Linux system. Display information about CPU architecture $ lscpu Architecture: x86_64 CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit Byte Order: Little Endian CPU(s): 4 On-line CPU(s) list: 0-3 Thread(s) per core: 2 Core(s) per socket: 2 Socket(s): 1 NUMA node(s): 1 Vendor ID: GenuineIntel CPU family: 6 Model: 58 Model name: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3520M CPU @ 2.90GHz Stepping: 9 CPU MHz: 1199.988 CPU max MHz: 3600.0000 CPU min MHz: 1200.0000 BogoMIPS: 5787.1...

Java Mission Control & Java Flight Recorder

Last year, I got two opportunities to talk about Java Mission Control & Java Flight Recorder. I first talked about " Using Java Mission Control & Java Flight Recorder " as an internal tech talk at WSO2 . I must thank Srinath for giving me that opportunity. After that, Prabath also invited me to do a talk at Java Colombo Meetup . Prabath, Thank you for inviting me and giving me the opportunity to talk at the Java Colombo Meetup! I'm also very excited to see that Marcus Hirt , the Team Lead for Java Mission Control has mentioned about the Java Colombo Meetup in his blog post: " My Favourite JMC Quotes ". It's so nice to see "Sri Lanka" was mentioned in his blog post! :) From Marcus' Blog Here are the slides used at the meetup. Java Colombo Meetup: Java Mission Control & Java Flight Recorder from Isuru Perera Marcus Hirt's blog posts really helped me to understand JMC & JFR concepts and his tutorials were very helpful...

Flame Graphs with Java Flight Recordings

Flame Graphs Brendon D. Gregg , who is a computer performance analyst , has created  Flame Graphs to visualize stack traces in an interactive way. You must watch his talk at USENIX/LISA13 , titled Blazing Performance with Flame Graphs , which explains Flame Graphs in detail. There can be different types of flame graphs and I'm focusing on  CPU Flame Graphs  with Java in this blog post. Please look at the Flame Graphs Description  to understand the Flame Graph visualization. CPU Flame Graphs and Java Stack Traces As  Brendon  mentioned in his talk, understanding why CPUs are busy is very important when analyzing performance.  CPU Flame Graphs  is a good way to identify hot methods from sampled stack traces. In order to generate CPU Flame Graphs for Java Stack Traces , we need a way to get sample stack traces. Brendon has given examples to use jstack  and Google's lightweight-java-profiler . Please refer to his perl program on g...
