WMC students and alumni presented papers at the 44thInternational Convention on Information and Communication Technology, Electronics,
and Microelectronics (MIPRO 2021)
September 30, 2021
Two of our senior WMC students, Dora Beronić and Dino
Muharemagić, in collaboration with RIT Croatia alumni Paula Pufek and Matija
Šipek and under the mentorship of Dr. Branko Mihaljević and Aleksander Radovan,
wrote two research papers and presented them at the 44th International
Convention on Information and Communication Technology, Electronics, and
Microelectronics – MIPRO 2021.
The research paper on the topic „On Analyzing Virtual
Threads – a Structured Concurrency Model for Scalable Applications on the JVM",
authored by Dora Beronić, Paula Pufek, Branko Mihaljević and Aleksander
Radovan, presented research results of an experimental structured concurrency
model based on Virtual Threads in the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) introduced
within OpenJDK's Project Loom, exploring the updated implementation of virtual
threads and accompanying schedulers, as a novel form of lightweight user-mode
threads, demonstrating their efficiency on blocking operations and reviewing
possibilities of reducing memory footprints and context switching costs.
The research paper with the title „Next-Generation Web
Applications with WebAssembly and TruffleWasm", authored by Matija Šipek, Dino
Muharemagić, Branko Mihaljević and Aleksander Radovan, presented research
related to WebAssembly, a binary format compilation target that includes a low-level
assembly-like language used for targeting from other programming languages,
which allows near-native performance level due to its compactness, and
TruffleWasm, a WebAssembly interpreter hosted within GraalVM ecosystem and
Truffle Java framework, by demonstrating the system architecture and
preliminary performance test results within the academic environment.
MIPRO is the largest and the oldest international IT-related
scientific conference in Croatia co-sponsored by IEEE, and all papers will be
included in IEEE Xplore Digital Library and Web of Science CPCI-S.
