6 years ago Welcome @gdams , and good to meet you here in addition to the emails. We will work the email/Slack/issue channel and lock down dates that work for you. We have a channel for Optane support on the Packet community Slack .

Project Title and description
AdoptOpenJDK - adoptopenjdk is a project that builds, tests, and distributes Java runtime binaries that are based upon the open source OpenJDK project.
The project has an established Jenkins continuous integration farm that provides software builds across a number of CPU/OS combinations, and testing of function and application-level correctness. The project distributes the resulting binaries via its website that is a portal for high-quality OpenJDK binaries.
Which members of the community would benefit from your work?
One of our goals at AdoptOpenJDK is to provide platform coverage for as many OS/ARCH combinations as possible. We have also started running JCK (Java Compliance Kit) tests to ensure that our binaries are of the same quality as those produced by other Java vendors. AdoptOpenJDK could be the future home of Java for millions of users around the globe.
Is the code that you’re going to run 100% open source? If so, what is the URL or URLs where it is located?
Yes, the delivered code, tests and build systems themselves are open source at https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK. There is a minor exception, as we are obliged to run some proprietary code licensed directly from Oracle to pass the language compatibility test suites.
What infrastructure (computing resources and network access) do you need? (see: https://www.packet.net/bare-metal/)?
Intel Optane Machines
What performance-focused articles has your project published?
disk i/o can be a limiting factor for a lot of the code we execute at AdoptOpenJDK. We don't currently have any blogs about performance but we could add one to https://blog.adoptopenjdk.net/
Please state your contributions to the open source community and any other relevant initiatives
Personally:
I am involved in two very successful open-source projects (AdoptOpenJDK and the Node.js Foundation). I have been working with open source projects for the last 2 years and have a good understanding of how they run.
AdoptOpenJDK
The team contributions to the project can be seen via the AdoptOpenJDK organization in GitHub; and the discussions that primarily take place on Slack.
Would you be willing to share your analysis and results publicly?
Yes! We could provide blog posts
