eBPF is transforming Linux system capabilities, enabling the extension of  the kernel with custom process schedulers, firewalls, and more. Thanks to Java's recent native integration and a bit of compiler magic, we can now create these extensions directly in Java — and that's exactly what this talk is all about.

We'll cover the fundamentals of eBPF and scheduling and how to implement a custom scheduler in Java. The session will showcase a scheduler that visualizes scheduling through sound —  each process is mapped to a musical note, offering a fun and intuitive way to understand system activity. You’ll even get the chance to control the scheduling yourself using a MIDI keyboard.

Join us to learn how to craft small eBPF programs in Java that you'll really like the sound of.
