Server-side Java workload

The results shown in the chart below were generated with a CPU intensive server-side Java workload. The chart shows the improvement based on the System z9 hardware and the J2SE 1.4.2 kit. The higher CPU clock speed of a System z9 can be directly used to achieve a higher throughput in the range of 40% (left diagram).

The J2SE version 5.0comes with an improved virtual machine and JIT compiler. The server-side Java workload shows a 20% higher throughput with this version (right diagram).
