Fujitsu's PRIMEPOWER 2000 Takes Top Spot
in SPEC Java Business Benchmark 2000
Tokyo, March 26, 2002 --- Fujitsu Limited today announced that its
PRIMEPOWER 2000 Solaris/SPARC-based server has achieved a new world
record in the industry-standard SPECjbb(TM)2000 (SPEC Java Business
Benchmark 2000) benchmark. On March 7, 2002 Fujitsu topped the
competition with a result of 424,206 operations per second, as
measured with the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation's
benchmark for gauging server-side Java performance. The PRIMEPOWER
2000 system used in the test ran on the industry-standard Solaris 8
operating system and was powered by 64 (675MHz) SPARC64 GP processors.
Establishing PRIMEPOWER as the world's most powerful Java server
engine, the latest benchmark results demonstrate once again Fujitsu's
leadership in the high-end Internet-oriented business computing space.

About SPECjbb2000
SPECjbb2000 - the "jbb" stands for Java business benchmark - represents
an order processing application for a wholesale supplier. Written in
Java and released by SPEC in 2000, it was developed with participation
from computer vendors, system integrators, universities, research
organizations, publishers and consultants. SPECjbb2000 is loosely
modeled after the TPC-C benchmark's business model, emulating a three-
tier client/server system with emphasis on the middle tier. However,
contrary to typical TPC-C implementations, all of SPECjbb2000 is
written in Java, and all three tiers are implemented within a single
JVM. No commercial database is used; Java objects replace database
objects for the purpose of this benchmark. Due to the different
implementation, SPECjbb2000 results should not be confused with TPC-C
results (where, by the way, Fujitsu also holds the world record among
non-clustered systems).
