Oracle Labs is a research and development organization within Oracle. Their research is focused on real-world outcomes: their researchers aim to develop technologies that will play a significant role in the evolution of technology and society. Today, Oracle Labs researchers look for novel approaches and methodologies, often taking on projects with high risk or uncertainty, or that are difficult to tackle within a product-development organization. Its main directions of work include research, consulting, and product incubation.
In this lunch lecture Martijn Dwars will introduce Oracle and its research division Oracle Labs. He will give a brief introduction to three projects that the Zürich office is involved in: the parallel graph analytics engine PGX and its domain specific languages PGQL & PGX Algorithm, the universal virtual machine GraalVM, and the multilingual engine MLE. After this lecture, you will know how to analyze graphs with billions of vertices/edges, how to remove the barriers between programming languages, and how to reduce the startup time of your Java applications by 10x.
