TornadoVM is a practical heterogeneous programming framework for automatically accelerating Java programs on heterogeneous (OpenCL-compatible) hardware.
The INSTALL page contains instructions on how to install TornadoVM while the Examples page includes examples regarding running Java programs on GPUs. We also maintain a live TornadoVM whitepaper document which you can download here.
