Java performance on HP-UX (11iR1&2)

[Gordon Brown_5]

Bill,

Thanks fo rthe reply , yes we are aware of the issues of X over the LAN but the problem at the moment is that our non GUI test app is 1-200 times slower on HP-UX than Windoze/Linux.

I would qualify the CUI app performance being better than GUI - we do actually have a GUI app that outperforms a CUI !

Rick,

Thanks fo rthat but the idea of JAVA surely is write once run anywhere and at .1 secs on Windoze I think it is probably written ok.

The X/HPUX solution is not my preferred solution and I think it will eventually have to be Windows Terminal Server and RDP.

The seeing what might be amiss isn't necessarily in your bubblesort, but in what happens in the HP JVM while the bubblesort is running.

The idea of Java was indeed "write once, run anywhere". Unfortunately, reality interfered with the ideals, and it's now generally accepted that it's more like "write once, test everywhere".

Don't get me wrong, I like Java, but there are differences between implementations. I assume that you're comparing the performance of the same version (1.x...) of Java on the two platforms?

Shalom,

With proper version of Java and proper patching overall the PA-RISC box is going scale better than the windows boxes.

Java itself is very inefficient with resources and large amounts of memory will be required.

I really think the L2000 has more than enough RAM unless its already used up by oracle or something.
