Benchmarking JVMs Vol II

A while ago I tried out OpenJ9 compared to HotSpot when it comes to the JZenith Redis example app. Then I did some more optimizations and got it up to 7k requests per second.

I was talking the other day about the new Oracle license system for the JDK and the name Azul was mentioned, then I remembered that there is another JVM out there: Zing. So in addition to my last post here are the numbers for Zing, startup times are comparible to HotSpot, but the request numbers are not so nice:

Summary:
Total: 10.0109 secs
Slowest: 0.0469 secs
Fastest: 0.0007 secs
Average: 0.0101 secs
Requests/sec: 4910.9484


Response time histogram:
0.001 [1] |

0.033 [208] |
0.038 [86] |
0.042 [33] |
0.047 [8] |


Latency distribution:
10% in 0.0038 secs
25% in 0.0064 secs
50% in 0.0095 secs
75% in 0.0129 secs
90% in 0.0168 secs
95% in 0.0198 secs
99% in 0.0271 secs

This is basically the same as in my unoptimized HotSpot benchmark. Even though it is not complaining about not being able to use the native transport I suspect that Netty is just more optimized for HotSpot.
