SPECjbb2000 (Java Business Benchmark) [1] is SPEC's first benchmark for evaluating the performance of server-side Java. Joining the client-side SPECjvm98, SPECjbb2000 continues the SPEC tradition of giving Java users the most objective and representative benchmark for measuring a system's ability to run Java applications.
