The Sun Fire 25K and Sun J2SE 5.0_08 team up to demonstrate leadership on large servers running SPECjbb2005, increasing performance by 19.1% over our previous submission on the same hardware. Not bad for 6 months of performance work! The 72-way Sun Fire 25K score is 1,387,437 SPECjbb2005 bops, 19,270 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM. That is 11% faster than the 128-way Fujitsu PRIMEPOWER 2500 and many times faster than IBM's fastest SPECjbb2005 result to date. The BMSeer once again beats me the punch talking about SPECjbb2005 results, he/she (who is BMSeer anyway?) has a great piece talking about this result.
