JRockit Breaks SPECjbb2002 Benchmark Record
BEAWORLD, BEIJING, Dec. 8 - BEA Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:BEAS), a world leader in enterprise infrastructure software, today announced that its JRockit(R) JVM (Java Virtual Machine) has set another record, by netting a SPECjbb2000 benchmark result of 861,647 operations per second.
The result, published last week by SPEC, a non-profit organization that maintains and endorses standardized benchmarks, was achieved using a Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST 480 server with 32 Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2 processors and the JRockit JVM 5.0. The result was the best 32-way score on non-SMT/HT hardware. It was also better than any result produced by Sun's HotSpot JVM on a machine of the same configuration.
"Data center administrators are constantly looking for ways to increase performance while simultaneously driving down costs, and one key component in that struggle is deploying the best JVM," said Guy Churchward, general manager, Java Runtime Products Group (JRPG), BEA Systems, Inc.
JRockit, proven to be the fastest JVM on Intel(R) Xeon(R) and Intel(R) Itanium2(R) processors, is also designed to provide interoperability across multiple hardware and operating system configurations. JRockit can help make it possible to gain optimal performance for Java applications deployed on 32- bit or 64-bit architectures of both the Microsoft Windows and Linux operating system platforms.
"We have collaborated actively with BEA for years to ensure their software is optimized down to the JVM-level to take full advantage of our processor architectures," said Shannon Poulin, Enterprise Platform Marketing Director, Intel. "The result of this ongoing collaboration is a fast and robust infrastructure platform that is designed to allow IT departments to be more responsive to the needs of their businesses and provide an ideal foundation for service-oriented architectures."
SPECjbb is an independently designed and validated industry-standard benchmark that is specifically designed to measure the scalability and performance of JVMs, which are used by Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) technology-based application servers.

About SPECjbb2000
Created by SPEC, the SPECjbb2000 (Java Business Benchmark) is SPEC's first benchmark for evaluating the performance of server-side Java. Joining the client-side SPECjvm98, SPECjbb2000 continues the SPEC tradition of giving Java users the most objective and representative benchmark for measuring a system's ability to run Java applications. It was developed by SPEC's Java subcommittee, which includes BEA, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Sun Microsystems, Dell, AMD, Sybase, JBoss, and Darmstadt University.
