Appeal Virtual Machines' JRockit 3.1 features several performance enhancements such as improved code generation, a newly designed parallel garbage collector for multiprocessor systems and faster startup. Increased performance of the generated code gives faster execution of Java programs. Newly designed parallel garbage collector uses all processors, thus decreasing the pause times. Improved efficiency of the JIT compiler and runtime system gives shorter startup time.
Internal tests once again show record scalability. JRockit is certified by Sun Microsystems as fully compatible with the Java2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) on the Windows NT/2000/XP, Solaris and Linux operating systems.
Appeal Virtual Machines' JRockit products are designed and optimized for the demands of server side execution of Java technology, including multi-user scalability, non-disruptive garbage collectors, optimizations targeted for multiprocessors, and the ability to monitor and manage the execution of Java technology based applications.
