Wednesday April 09, 2008 Java, Solaris and CMT Systems have achieved a Java performance triple crown with winning results in 3 key industry benchmarks.
SPECjbb2005 2 CPU Multi-JVM World Record: Sun SPARC Enterprise T5240
SPECweb2005 World Record: Sun SPARC T5220
SPECjAppServer2004 World Record Single Application Server: Sun SPARC Enterprise T5240
All running the upcoming JDK 6 Update 6 Performance release. Nice.
Fast! Java on UltraSPARC T2 Plus
Today Sun announced the next generation chip multi-threading (CMT) systems with the powerhouse UltraSPARC T2 Plus Processor and again Java is ready. We've spent the last several months optimizing the Sun JDK and HotSpot JVM for UltraSPARC T2 Plus and the results are impressive. Today, I again have the privilege to announce another Sun World Record, this time taking the lead with the new Sun SPARC Enterprise T5240 achieving a World Record 2 Socket SPECjbb2005 Result of 373,405 SPECjbb2005 bops, 23,338 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM.
- 1.94x scaling with 2 x 1.4Ghz UltraSPARC T2 Plus compared to 1 x 1.4Ghz UltraSPARC T2
- Faster than all 4-Socket SPECjbb2005 results from IBM, including the IBM System p 570 with 4 x 4.7Ghz Power 6 CPUs !
- Faster than all 4-Socket SPECjbb2005 results from HP (Actually faster than all results from HP outside of their 64-way Itanium2 systems)
Wow. The UltraSPARC T2 Plus and Sun Java powered by the HotSpot JVM are a sweet combination, and this result was made possible with the highly optimized Java SE 6 Update 6-P which will be available in July 2008. Take a look at http://java.sun.com/performance for the latest performance release.
Many, many engineers (and dare I say a few managers) had a role delivering these results, and I'd like to personally thank the following folks whose passion and determination made this possible. Thanks for all the hard work!
