Happy First Birthday, GlassFish 3.1 [25576]
Even as Version 3.1.2 is Imminent
GlassFish 3.1 has now attained the respectable age of one, Alexis Moussine-Pouchkine reminds readers of his Aquarium b blog. The more salient aspects of this version, as Moussine-Pouchkine points out, were that the release conformed to the roadmap announced at the time of Sun's acquisition by Oracle; that it added key enhancements in centralized admin (SSH-based) and integrated much-improved high-availability cluster technology, thus making it a production-ready product; and that it introduced GlassFish Server Control, a set of tools to improve the production experience. The release of GlassFish 3.1.2 is imminent, he notes.

Netra SPARC T4-2 SPECjvm2008 World Record Performance [25258]
The Netra SPARC T4-2 server demonstrates 41% better performance than the SPARC T3-2 server
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.
