Intel and Oracle tout Java and middleware collaboration
CHIPMAKER Intel and software vendor Oracle have boasted about big performance gains as the result of their ongoing optimisation partnership.
The two firms appeared at the Javaone conference in San Francisco to discuss the ways in which Oracle software has been optimised to run on Intel's latest processors.
Doug Fisher, VP and general manager of Intel's systems software division said that by combining Intel's hardware with specially optimised Oracle software, researchers have been able to craft systems that claimed record performance in the SPECJBB2005 Java server benchmark.
Along with the overall performance benchmark logged by a 64-chip cluster, engineers were able to set performance records for 2, 4 and 8-socket server systems.
The performance benefits also extend to the Fusion Middleware brand (not to be confused with AMD's Fusion line of chips, we note), with the companies saying that latest tests of the software on Intel hardware show that a four-socket server is capable of handling up to 20,000 concurrent users.
The companies claimed that the partnership will help new users see immediate performance benefits when new chips are introduced. µ

Wow that is so great the Intel finally decided to implement Jazelle. I wonder how much licensing royalty they have to pay to ARM for this.
This is the type of innovation one would expect from a company like Intel. Especially after they stopped doing to AMD what they said they weren't doing, to comply with the justice systems in so many countries. Who knows how bad AMD could have been hurt had they been doing what stopped not doing.
