FastHardware v0.1.0 [ALPHA] — Native Hardware Telemetry API for Java

⚡ A zero-overhead native module for the FastJava ecosystem. Monitor CPU, GPU, RAM, and Disk health directly via native Windows APIs.

FastHardware provides direct access to system performance counters and hardware sensors. By using native Win32/WMI hooks, it delivers accurate telemetry without the performance hit of traditional Java system-querying methods.

Installation

Option 1: Maven (Recommended)

Add the JitPack repository and the dependencies to your pom.xml:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>jitpack.io</id>
        <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

<dependencies>
    <!-- FastHardware Library -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.github.andrestubbe</groupId>
        <artifactId>fasthardware</artifactId>
        <version>v0.1.0</version>
    </dependency>

    <!-- FastCore (Required Native Loader) -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.github.andrestubbe</groupId>
        <artifactId>fastcore</artifactId>
        <version>v0.1.0</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Option 2: Gradle (via JitPack)

repositories {
    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.andrestubbe:fasthardware:v0.1.0'
    implementation 'com.github.andrestubbe:fastcore:v0.1.0'
}

Option 3: Direct Download (No Build Tool)

Download the latest JARs directly to add them to your classpath:

1. 📦 fasthardware-v0.1.0.jar (The Core Library)
2. ⚙️ fastcore-v0.1.0.jar (The Mandatory Native Loader)

Important

All JARs must be in your classpath for the native JNI calls to function correctly.
