I built a tool to compare #Java performance across ARM, x86, and RISC-V single-board computers! It uses the Renaissance Suite wrapped in a @jbangdev script. The results are now live on my blog with an interactive dashboard. Winners from this batch: #LattePanda #IOTA, #OrangePi 5 Ultra, and #RaspberryPi 5.

All info in this blog:

RE: https://foojay.social/@pi4j/116102881156060516

This is a big milestone! A lot of changes in V4 of @pi4j but the most important one is the move to #Java 25 and the new plugin using the Foreign Function and Memory (FFM) API. I have been talking about this at several conferences in the last 6 months, but it's finally here. A massive work done by the Pi4J core team to not only add the new plugin, but to improve the internal code, add a hardware smoke test, and much more! #JavaOnSingleBoardComputers just took a major step forward...!!!
