Looking across a set of eight Java benchmarks, we find that only two of them are array dominated, the rest having between 40% to 75% of the heap footprint allocated to objects, the vast majority of which are small. Consider a B-Tree node from the B-tree Java benchmark: Uncompressed, it’s memory layout looks like (a) below.

One, by researching on the Internet; Two, by developing small programs and benchmarking. The legacy languages — be it ASM or C still rule in terms of performance. Considering all aspects and needs of current enterprise development, it is C++ and Java which outscore the other in terms of speed. Ahem, Slow!

HammerDB is a software application for database benchmarking. It enables the user to measure database performance and make comparative judgements about database hardware and software. Databases are highly sophisticated software, and to design and run a fair benchmark workload is a complex undertaking. Derived Workloads.

There's no Java stack—there should be a tower of green Java methods—instead there's only a single green frame or two. This is how Java flame graphs looked at the time. Later that year I prototyped the c2 frame pointer fix that became -XX:+PreserveFramePointer, which fixes Java stacks in these profiles.
