Renaissance: A Free Benchmarking Suite for JVM
Renaissance is a benchmarking program that helps you optimize Java Virtual Machine (JVM) programs. With this tool, you may come up with new optimizations and memory management techniques.
Pushing the boundaries
This benchmark suite consists of 21 parallelism- and concurrency-oriented benchmarks, all for JVM. This program relies on multiple state-of-the-art Scala and Java frameworks.
Creating new optimizations
Not only does Renaissance contain a range of modern workloads that comprise popular frameworks, applications, and systems made for JVM, but its best feature is that you can create new optimizations.
Understanding memory
The selling points of this program are based on its focus on elements that other benchmarking programs are missing. This tool is special because it concentrates on parallelism and concurrency. It also has a set of workloads to help understand the memory behavior of complex Java programs. This is not a groundbreaking tool, but it addresses the issues that others are not concentrating on.
Catching up with JVM
JVM is at the forefront of runtime development and research, mostly due to its current popularity. JVM is evolving, with new paradigms like transactional memory, streaks, fork-join, new frameworks, and even new common themes of parallelism and concurrency. Renaissance is a benchmarking program built to answer this evolution.
Open Source and collaborative
Despite its limited budget, the people behind this program have been very receptive to user input if you are able to prove your points about the JVM benchmarks. Improvements and bug fixes are still common and are often at the behest of Renaissance users.
