Tuesday May 08, 2007 The 72-way Sun Fire E25K with 1.80Ghz US-IV+ processors and powered by Java SE 6 Update 2 now holds the Single Instance SPECjbb2005 World Record with a result of 1,149,100 SPECjbb2005 bops, 1,149,100 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM.
This result surpasses the previous high score held by Fujitsu PowerQuest 580 running BEA Jrockit and Itanium 2 processors by 4%. To top it off, this result was accomplished without using the fastest US-IV+ processors available (the fastest available is 1.95Ghz!) This makes the Sun Fire E25K running Solaris 10 and Java SE 6 Update 2 the fastest, most scalable computing platform for Java applications on the planet!

High Performance Java Technology in a Multi-core World
Paul Hohensee and I are doing a session this week at Java One, TS-2885: High Performance Java Technology in a Multi-core World. We'll talk about current and upcoming multi-core computer architectures ,JVM technologies and optimizations , and application and JVM tuning . Finally I'll do a quick demo showing our recent performance optimizations coming soon in Java SE 6.0_02, identification of heap tuning opportunities and common application bottlenecks.
Come see our talk on Thursday at 4:10pm in Gateway 102/103. See you at Java One!
