Feature Interview
Cliff Click is the CTO and
Co-Founder of 0xdata, a firm dedicated to creating a new way to
think about web-scale data storage and real-time analytics. I
wrote my first compiler when I was 15 (Pascal to TRS Z-80!), although my most famous
compiler is the HotSpot Server Compiler (the Sea of Nodes IR). I
helped Azul Systems build an 864 core pure-Java mainframe that
keeps GC pauses on 500Gb heaps to under 10ms, and worked on all
aspects of that JVM. Before that I
worked on HotSpot at Sun Microsystems, and am at least partially
responsible for bringing Java into the mainstream.
I am invited to speak regularly at industry and academic
conferences and has published many papers about HotSpot
technology. I hold a PhD in Computer Science from Rice
University and about 15 patents.
