What does SPECjvm2008 test?
SPECjvm2008 is designed to test the performance of a JRE on typical java applications, including the Java libraries such as JAXP (XML) and Crypto, both workloads common for client and server side Java applications. Other factors include the application environment, e.g. H/W and OS. For more information on what is specifically tested, see the benchmark documentation for each benchmark.
