Native Image: Large-scale static analysis for Java
summary
GraalVM Native Image is presented as a tool that combines static whole-program analysis, heap snapshotting, and ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation to produce standalone optimized executables for Java. The talk explains the Native Image architecture—highlighting build-time application initialization to cut startup time and memory use—and then goes into the points-to (alias) analysis, evaluating which research ideas scaled to large production apps and demonstrating benefits from tightly coupling the static analysis with the AOT compiler.
