Oracle's Netra SPARC T4-2 Server equipped with two SPARC T4 processors running at 2.85 GHz set a world record result of 454.52 SPECjvm2008 Peak ops/m on the SPECjvm2008 benchmark. This result surpassed the previous record, which was run on a similar product, Oracle's SPARC T4-2 server. This level of performance is 41% better than the SPARC T3-2 server and similar in performance to Oracle's SPARC T4-2 server. The Netra SPARC T4-2 server with hardware cryptography acceleration greatly increases performance with subtests using AES and RSA encryption ciphers. There are no SPECjvm2008 results published by IBM on POWER7 based systems.

In Episode 59 of the Java Spotlight Alan Bateman, an engineer in the Oracle JDK team, discusses the NIO2 APIs in JDK7. Bateman's focus as part of the Oracle JDK team has been chiefly on the core libraries/APIs and lead JSR-203 that defined the new file system API and asynchronous I/O APIs that are new in JDK 7. Regular member of the Java All Star Developer Panel Dalibor Topic, Java Free and Open Source Software Ambassador, assumes his usual seat.

The SPARC T4-2 Server equipped with two SPARC T4 processors running at 2.85 GigaHertz (GHz) and using Oracle Solaris 11 and Oracle JDK 7 Update 2 set a world record of 454.25 SPECjvm2008 Peak ops/m on the SPECjvm2008 benchmark, a benchmark suite for measuring the performance of a Java Runtime Environment (JRE). This level of performance is 41% better than the mark set by the SPARC T3-2 Server. The hardware cryptography acceleration built into the SPARC T4-2 was found to greatly increase performance on subtests using AES and RSA encryption ciphers.

Stuart W. Marks, Principal Member of Technical Staff in Oracle's Java Platform Group, is the guest on Episode 54 of the Java Spotlight Podcast, where the discussion involves the coinification of JDK 7. Marks is currently working on enhancing the core libraries of the JDK and has previously worked on JavaFX and Java ME at Sun. Host Roger Brinkley notes that Marks has over 20 years of software platform product development experience in the areas of window systems, interactive graphics, and mobile and embedded systems. Once again, Dalibor Topic, Java Free and Open Source Software Ambassador, sits on the Java All Star Developer Panel.
