SpeedTest Description

Program used to test the speed of Java code on various computer platforms. The SpeedTest software tests the speed of Java code on various computer platforms.In preparing for the design of a map making program I was concerned with how fast, or slow, some common program code structures might be. Back in the "old" days when we ran with a 1MHZ or 2MHZ 8 bit 8080 CPU we always had to be concerned with getting every bit of performance. Because Java is a "byte code" system and not fully compiled it will run somewhat slower than a fully compiled program. Comparative tests have shown that the Java Virtual Machine (VM) run code about 1⁄2 as fast as a fully compiled program. To look into the performance of Java code a number of simple test routines were run on several machines. Overall, the performance was quite good to outstanding.The program allows you to run four different tests.1. A null loop 50,000,000 times.2. 500,000 sin and 500,000 cos math calculations.3. A simple array of 5000 doubles is allocated 50,000 times.4. Load an array of 50,000 points 20 times.While not a test, the program will also read out the Java Run Timeenvironment parameters for you.The Timing Tests.doc and .htm files provide the results from runningthe program on a number of machines. If you provide the results fromyour machine I will look at adding it to the report. Requirements: · Java 2 Standard Edition Runtime Environment
