- GPULlama3.java: GPULlama3.java powered by TornadoVM
Llama3 models written in native Java automatically accelerated on GPUs with TornadoVM. Runs Llama3 inference efficiently using TornadoVM’s GPU acceleration. Currently, supports Llama3, Mistrall, Qwen3 and Phi3 models in the GGUF format. - TornadoVM: A practical heterogeneous programming framework for managed languages
Tornado is a practical heterogeneous programming framework for automatically accelerating Java programs on heterogeneous hardware. MaxineVM: A Metacircular JVM in Java
Originally developed by Sun/Oracle Labs, we continue to improve and support it! Checkout the latest developments, plans, publications, tutorials and instructions of how to use it on github. We are open for collaborations and suggestions, so please feel free to join the project!- MaxSim: A simulator platform for managed applications
We combined the strengths of Maxine VM and ZSim to provide a state-of-the-art platform for hw/sw co-designed exploration of Managed Runtime Systems. An overview of MaxSim along with explained use cases can be found here. - KFusion-TornadoVM: A Java implementation of the Kinect Fusion application on TornadoVM
Real-time 3D space reconstruction via KFusion on GPUs with TornadoVM. - TornadoVM-Ray Tracer: Accelerated real time ray tracing in Java
A real-time ray tracer in Java, accelerated on heterogeneous hardware using TornadoVM. - TornadoQSim: Java based quantum circuit simulator
