Oracle JRockit, Java Virtual Machine (JVM), also achieved a world-record Windows result on the SPECjbb2005 benchmark and record performance for a four socket Intel-based system on two SPECjbb2005 benchmarks. Both results, achieved on Dell PowerEdge R900 servers with Intel Xeon processors, beat similarly configured Sun JVM SPECjbb2005 benchmark results; demonstrating the superior performance capabilities of Java-based applications running on Oracle Fusion Middleware. In addition, Oracle JRockit Java Virtual Machine (JVM) on PRIMERGY servers from Fujitsu Siemens Computers achieved world record performance on two industry benchmarks, the SPECpower_ssj2008 and the SPECjbb2005.

Oracle JRockit delivered 2,150,260 SPECjbb2005 bops, running on a 16-socket NEC Express5800/A1160 with a six-core Intel Xeon X7460 2.67 GHz processor, and 256 GB RAM on Linux.

The result delivered more than two times higher performance than the top SPECjbb2005 benchmark results on x86 using Sun JVM and nearly three times higher performance than IBM JVM. Additionally, this Oracle JRockit result outperforms similarly sized RISC systems based on Sun JVM running on Sun SPARC by 163 percent and IBM JVM running on IBM POWER by 40 percent.

Oracle JRockit integrates technology from Oracle Fusion Middleware and BEA Systems and illustrates the rapid progress that Oracle is making in combining industry-leading technologies from the two companies into a unified product offering.

The Oracle JRockit family of products, a key component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, provides a comprehensive portfolio of Java runtime solutions that includes the industry's fastest solution for standard Java. Oracle JRockit is a high performance Java Virtual Machine developed to help ensure reliability, scalability, manageability and flexibility for Java applications. Oracle JRockit enables a new level of performance for Java applications at significantly lower costs to the enterprise.

In addition to being the new world record on Windows, this benchmark result also sets a new world record on AMD Opteron processor-based systems, and outperforms all other 8-socket systems using competing JVMs.

Oracle JRockit delivered 1,181,782 SPECjbb2005 bops, running on an HP ProLiant DL785 G5 server, the newest addition to the award-winning HP ProLiant product line, with eight quad-core AMD Opteron 2.7 GHz processors, 64 GB RAM and Microsoft Windows 2008, surpassing a result using the Sun JVM on a near-identical system by nearly 14 percent, and a similarly sized IBM Power system using the IBM JVM by 36 percent.

Setting a new SPECjbb2005 benchmark record for a four socket Intel-based system, Oracle JRockit delivered 628,291 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM, running on a Dell PowerEdge R900 four socket server with six-core Intel Xeon x7460 2.67 GHz processors, 64 GB RAM and Microsoft Windows 2003. The result delivered more than 18 percent higher performance than a near identical configuration with Sun's Java Virtual Machine.

In a second test configuration, Oracle JRockit delivered 537,116 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM, running on a Dell PowerEdge R900 server with four quad-core Intel Xeon x7350 2.93 GHz processors, 64 GB RAM and Microsoft Windows 2003. This result delivered almost 16 percent more performance than a near identical configuration with Sun's Java Virtual Machine.

The world-record SPECpower_ssj2008 result, achieved with Oracle JRockit on a PRIMERGY server from Fujitsu Siemens Computers with an Intel Xeon processor, outperformed all previous SPECpower_ssj2008 results, showcasing that Oracle provides the leading energy-efficient, high-performance platform for Java.

The SPECpower_ssj2008 benchmark measures both server-side Java-based application performance and power. The SPECjbb2005 benchmark is an industry-standard measurement of server-side Java-based application performance.

Setting the new world-record SPECpower_ssj2008 benchmark result and demonstrating superior performance per watt, Oracle JRockit on a PRIMERGY TX150 S6 server from Fujitsu Siemens Computers with one quad-core Intel Xeon L3360 2.83 GHz processor running Microsoft Windows 2008 achieved a Performance to Power ratio of 1,273 overall ssj_ops/watt.

Setting a new SPECjbb2005 benchmark record for single-socket systems, Oracle JRockit delivered 211,144 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM, running on a PRIMERGY RX100 S5 server from Fujitsu Siemens Computers with a quad-core Intel Xeon X3380 3.16 GHz processor, 8 GB RAM and Microsoft Windows 2008.
