SPEC releases
FREE
SPECjvm2008 Benchmark
WARRENTON, Va., May 7, 2008
– The Standard Performance
Evaluation Corp. (SPEC) has released
SPECjvm2008,
a new Java virtual machine benchmark
with multithreaded workloads that
represent a broad range of application
areas. SPECjvm2008 is available for
free downloading on the SPEC website:
www.spec.org/jvm2008/.
The new benchmark, which replaces
SPECjvm98, enables performance
comparisons for systems running the Java
Runtime Environment (JRE). Metrics are
influenced by the performance of the
just-in-time (JIT) compiler, memory
management, and other aspects of the
system, including the processor, cache
and memory bus.
New evaluation tools in SPECjvm2008
include a plug-in analysis framework
that gathers information on factors such
as heap usage during testing, and a
reporter that displays a summary graph
of all test runs.
SPECjvm2008 allows testing under both
base and peak rules. Base testing
simulates environments in which users do
not tune systems for increased
performance. Peak results show how
tuning can be used to drive maximum Java
throughput.
Anyone submitting a peak result for
publication on the SPEC web site must
also submit a base result.
SPEC members participating in the
development of SPECjvm2008 include AMD,
BEA, HP, IBM, Intel and Sun.
Addressing issues and needs
“SPECjvm2008 addresses critical
performance issues facing today’s Java
server and client environments,” says
Stefan Sarne, release manager for the
new benchmark. “It reflects an interest
in both client and server workloads, the
move to a multicore environment, and a
major increase in workload complexity
and memory usage compared to SPECjvm98.”
SPEC expects that the free software will
be valuable to four key groups within
the IT community:
-
IT managers looking to improve JVM
performance for specific
applications.
-
Researchers who investigate new
algorithms for garbage collection or
code generation.
-
Engineers who create and enhance JVM
products and conduct performance
testing.
-
Marketers who want to call attention
to JVM performance of new products.

SPEC releases power-performance
benchmark for servers
WARRENTON, Va., December 11,
2007 – The Standard Performance
Evaluation Corp. (SPEC) has released
SPECpower_ssj2008, the first
industry-standard benchmark that
measures power consumption in relation
to performance for
server-class computers.
SPEC has designed
SPECpower_ssj2008 to be used as both a
benchmark to compare power and
performance among different servers
and as a toolset to improve server
efficiency.
“The power efficiency of servers has
become a high-priority issue for the
IT industry, computer manufacturers,
and governments,” says Klaus-Dieter
Lange, chair of the SPECpower
committee. “SPEC is
taking its proven methodologies for
ensuring consistent, fair and
repeatable performance measurement and
applying them to power consumption.”
SPEC member companies active in
developing the new power-performance
measurement standard include AMD,
Dell, Fujitsu Siemens Computers, HP,
Intel, IBM, and Sun Microsystems.
Associate members participating in the
effort include University of
California – Berkeley, Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory, and
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and
State University.
About the benchmark
SPECpower_ssj2008 reports power
consumption for servers at different
performance levels – from 100-percent
to idle in 10-percent segments – over
a set period of time. The graduated
workload recognizes the fact that
processing loads and power consumption
on servers vary substantially over the
course of days or weeks. To compute a
power-performance metric across all
levels, measured transaction
throughputs for each segment are added
together, then divided by the sum of
the average power consumed for each
segment. The result is a figure of
merit called “overall ssj_ops/watt.”
The benchmark workload represents
typical server-side Java business
applications. The workload is
scalable, multi-threaded, portable
across a wide range of operating
environments, and economical to run.
It exercises CPUs, caches, memory
hierarchy, and the scalability of
shared memory processors (SMPs), as
well as implementations of the Java
Virtual Machine (JVM), JIT (just in
time) compiler, garbage collection,
threads, and some aspects of the
operating system.
The minimum equipment for
SPEC-compliant testing is two
networked computers, plus a power
analyzer and a temperature sensor.
One computer is the system under test
(SUT), the other a controller system
where power, performance and
temperature are captured for
reporting. A typical test run for
SPECpower_ssj2008 takes about 70
minutes using default settings.
“A critical first step”
Representatives
from the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and the Consortium for
Energy Efficiency (CEE) have been
monitoring SPEC’s progress in
developing power-performance
evaluation tools and see the release
of this first benchmark as a
significant step forward.
“The ability to measure power
consumption in a consistent way across
multiple server platforms is an
important element of the Energy Star
program,” says Andrew Fanara, director
of the Energy Star Product
Specifications Development Team for
the EPA. “SPEC has taken a critical
first step to give server vendors and
their customers a standardized
benchmark tool that elevates power
efficiency in the performance
evaluation process.”
“The Consortium
for Energy Efficiency is reviewing
SPEC’s latest release,” says Jason
Erwin, who manages and supports
commercial programs for CEE. “A test
procedure for server power performance
that is accepted by the industry could
enable improved customer guidance
concerning potential energy savings.
CEE benefits by working with
organizations like SPEC to ensure that
industry-endorsed test methods are
available and accessible.”
