Hi Alan/Brian, I have finally been able to shelve other commitments and return to this JEP (apologies for the hiatus).
https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/8207851 The JEP has been reviewed positively by Stuart Marks (core libs) and Vladimir Kozlov (intrinsics). It has also been warmly welcomed by several potential users in Red Hat and Intel (including, respectively, Jonathan Halliday and Sandya Viswanathan both in cc). I believe I have addressed all outstanding comments on the JEP per se, including those made by Alan. Is it now possible for one of you to endorse the JEP so it can be submitted? I am aware that I still need to address a few details in the draft implementation that are not present in the latest webrev. I believe there are two changes requested by Vladimir: 1. correct the type of cache writeback memory nodes to generic memory 2. use the JVM to inject a flag setting which enables/disables mapping of persistent buffers and also one change requested by Alan: make method MappedByteBuffer.isPersistent private rather than public Is there any other impediment to submitting the JEP and proceeding to code review? 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
