"The Volano Report: Which Java platform is fastest, most scalable? A JavaWorld
exclusive!"
By John Neffenger
(http://www.javaworld.com/jw-03-1999/jw-03-volanomark.html)
Summary:
Microsoft said it would never happen -- that Sun would never
surpass it in Java performance. And in fact, according to these
new benchmarks, you could argue that it still hasn't happened.
Yet while Sun and Microsoft battled it out in public, another
Java vendor quietly, very quietly, stole the lead, beating Sun
with its own technology and Microsoft on its own operating
system. At the same time, Sun made enormous gains in Java
scalability on its Solaris platform. In this follow-up to the
server-side Java performance and scalability feature published in
the August 1998 issue of JavaWorld, author John Neffenger,
founder and CTO of Volano LLC and creator of the VolanoMark
benchmark, delivers the latest results of VolanoMark 2.1 tests on
ten Intel-based Java platforms -- and in the process answers the
all-important question: Which operating system and Java virtual
machine will provide the best Java server platform for your Intel
box? PLUS: Learn how IBM dramatically improved scalability on
Windows NT, and a simple step you can take to quadruple the
number of threads you can handle on Windows! Tune into this
JavaWorld exclusive for a look at who's leading the pack today
and how they did it. (4,000 words)
