TornadoVM 7 Enables GPU-Native Workloads from Java Applications

https://github.com/beehive-lab/TornadoVM this is main repo.

You can use it with any JDK21+ and Nvidia or Apple hardware and their Nvidia libs or MLX libs.

Seems like a nice win even if it just does the example they have:

    void matmul(Matrix2DFloat A, Matrix2DFloat B, Matrix2DFloat C, int size) {
      for (@Parallel int i=0; i<size; i++) {
        for (@Parallel int j=0; j<size; j++) {
          float sum = 0f;
          for (int k=0; k<size; k++)
            sum += A.get(i,k)*B.get(k,j);
          C.set(i, j, sum);
        }
      }
    }

And why confuse everybody by calling it a VM when it ships as a JAR file that runs in an existing VM?

Does this mean we can use Java to build AI infrastructure?

Basically JAX for Java instead of Python
