Wednesday May 07, 2008 SPEC has release SPECjvm2008 and ....
Its Free!!
The new benchmark is the replacement to SPECjvm98, the first SPEC Java benchmark and the beginning of a family of SPEC Java Benchmarks including SPECjbb2005, SPECjappserver2004, SPECjms2007, SPECpower_ssj2008, and a bit of SPECweb2005.
SPECjvm2008 leverages a wide range of workloads including Scimark, Compilation, SunFlow, XML, Derby, Startup, and many more, and its a fine Java benchmark for competition and research. Download it and give it a try.
Congratulations to the development team and a big thanks to our many contributors from the community.

Tuesday May 06, 2008 Just in time for JavaOne, I'm pleased to announce two new SPECjbb2005 World Records on Sun Intel systems. The Sun Fire X4450, powered by Intel Xeon MP CPUs and Java SE 6 Update 6-P, now hold the 4 Chip Multi-JVM World Record and the Single JVM x86 world record.
World Record Performance on 4-Chip Systems running 8-JVMs: 464,355 SPECjbb2005 bops, 58,044 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM.
World Record Performance on x86 Systems running a single JVM: 389,208 SPECjbb2005 bops, 389,208 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM.
The single JVM result actually beats all single JVM results with 16 CPUs or less. Wow. Thanks again to the HotSpot JVM and Performance teams, great work guys. Thanks also to the fine engineers at Intel. Lets keep on trucking.

Monday May 05, 2008 I'm pleased to announce the release of our second performance release, JDK 6 Update 5-P. Its available to download at http://java.sun.com/performance. This is our fastest JDK to date, released just in time for JavaOne.
Thanks to the entire VM Technologies team!
