• jvisualm -- Oracle Java Development Kit (JDK) comes with a visual tool that has profiling and sampling capabilities as well as other performance inspection features
• URIs vs URLs vs ... -- RFC-3305
• FLAME, Elemental and PETSc -- Parallel distributed numerical computation libraries
• ASCEND -- modelling software for engineering systems (Not sure I fully understand its capabilities, but it seems it could be both a predecessor and more general than Modellica)
• Building Memory-efficient Java Applications: Practices and Challenges (Nick Mitchell &Gary Sevitsky) -- interesting, increasingly relevant on many core systems. Can't help thinking that large shared heap is unsustainable in the long term.
