Title: Workload Analysis of SPECjvm2008 on Netburst Architecture
Abstract:
     SPECjvm2008 is a new benchmark program suite for measuring Java runtime environment.  It replaces JVM98, which has been used for the same purpose for more than ten years. It consists of 38 benchmark programs grouped into eleven categories and has wide variety of workloads from computation-intensive kernels to XML file processors. This talk presents a brief introduction of SPECjvm2008 workloads and the results of performance evaluation on Netburst architecture processors, including instruction and data cache reference and miss rates, and the effect of multi-threading.
In the second half of the talk, other research topics in the speaker's lab, as well as a brief introduction to the University of Aizu, will be presented.
