Bisheng JDK: Huawei’s OpenJDK‑Based High‑Performance Distribution for Linux/AArch64

Bisheng JDK is Huawei’s internally customized OpenJDK distribution, open‑sourced as Huawei JDK, offering high performance and production‑ready capabilities, running on over 500 Huawei products and optimized for ARM architecture, compatible with Java SE 8 and currently supporting Linux/AArch64.

It provides both tarball and yum repository installation methods and has been upgraded to version 8u262, now supporting Java Flight Recorder (JFR), which can be enabled at runtime with the command java -XX:+FlightRecorder using JMC 7.0+ to read dump files.

For scenarios requiring native Java serialization, Bisheng JDK includes a fast serializer that can be activated with JVM options -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseFastSerializer -DfastSerializerEscapeMode=true , though it may not support cases where serialization objects differ between read/write ends or class metadata changes, in which case the escape mode option ensures fallback to the standard serializer.

The project source code is hosted on Gitee at https://gitee.com/openeuler/bishengjdk-8 .
