Thursday July 10, 2008 The first ever SPECjvm2008 result has been published on the SPEC website. The Sun result stands alone, with no other hardware or software vendor stepping forward. This is the example of the confidence we have in HotSpot JVM and OpenJDK, and their abilities to strive in a broad range computing environments.
Also note that this is a SPECjvm2008 Base submission, with No JVM Tuning Required. SPECjvm2008 consists of 11 sub-components, some of which have multiple sub-test, such as crypto, scimark, and xml. As I've said before, this is a bear of a JVM benchmark, so improving the composite score requires significant improvement of its parts. Sun has not only submitted the first SPECjvm2008 result, but did so by submitting a SPECjvm2008 base submission only, hopefully setting the tone for competitive comparison moving forward.
Confident Performance. It has a nice ring to it.
