Hi,

For those that haven't seen it. There is a new release of the DaCapo
Benchmark Suite and a paper describing perfromance evaluation and
benchmarking methodologies. The suite itself is a collection of real
world, free software programs and datasets.

Cheers,

The DaCapo research group is pleased to announce a new beta release of 
the DaCapo benchmark suite, an accompanying set of performance 
evaluation methodologies for dynamically compiled languages [Blackburn 
et al., OOPSLA 2006], and mailing lists for community participation and 
feedback. All are available at http://www.dacapobench.org.
 

The DaCapo benchmark suite is a set of 11 non-trivial, real-world, open 
source Java benchmarks. This release contains numerous substantial 
improvements over earlier beta releases of the suite, including new, 
larger benchmarks and a greatly improved harness.  We encourage 
researchers and developers from industry and academia working with Java 
to use the DaCapo suite and apply the methodologies presented in the 
accompanying paper (http://www.dacapobench.org/dacapo-oopsla-2006.pdf).  
The paper recommends performance evaluation and benchmarking 
methodologies for dynamically compiled languages, describes and analyzes 
the suite, and critiques the current state of measurement methodology in 
the field. The web site also contains a link to a companion 30-page 
technical report which includes comparative data for SPEC benchmarks.
 

The suite and paper represent the culmination of five years of work from 
around twenty individuals across eight institutions.
 

We anticipate that this will be the final beta release.
 

Enjoy!
