Run Programs Faster Anywhere
High-performance polyglot VM
GraalVM is a universal virtual machine for running applications written in JavaScript, Python, Ruby, R, JVM-based languages like Java, Scala, Groovy, Kotlin, Clojure, and LLVM-based languages such as C and C++.
GraalVM removes the isolation between programming languages and enables interoperability in a shared runtime. It can run either standalone or in the context of OpenJDK, Node.js or Oracle Database.
OUR ADVANTAGES What does GraalVM do?
Polyglot
Zero overhead interoperability between programming languages allows you to write polyglot applications and select the best language for your task.

Native
Native images compiled with GraalVM ahead-of-time improve the startup time and reduce the memory footprint of JVM-based applications.

Turning JVM into a Polyglot VM with Graal
This presentation shows the techniques used to execute languages such as Ruby with high performance in GraalVM. It demonstrates an example of mixing JavaScript and Ruby within one program and how GraalVM can execute the result with zero overheads when crossing language boundaries...
One VM to Rule Them All
GraalVM enables seamless language interoperability while also providing world-class performance for each individual language. A demo will show how JavaScript, Java, Ruby, R, and C can work together in a single web application running in one VM! Use the right language for each task at hand...
Polyglot Native: Java, Scala, Kotlin, and JVM Languages
This video presents Polyglot Native: an ahead-of-time compiler for Java bytecode combined with a low-footprint VM. With Polyglot Native, programs written in Kotlin, Scala, and other JVM-based languages have minimal startup time as they are compiled to native executables. Footprint of compiled programs is minimized by using a chunked heap and reducing metadata overhead...
GraalVM in the Oracle Database
Oracle Database 12c Multilingual Engine (MLE) enables developers to work efficiently with DB-resident data in modern programming languages and development environments of their choice. The Oracle Database Multilingual Engine enables execution of JavaScript code via GraalVM. This video gives a demonstration of how Node.js modules can be used in the context of database queries and stored procedures...
