We are very pleased to announce the second major release of the DaCapo
benchmark suite, available for download now.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dacapobench/
This release represents a major overhaul of the suite, with
significant change to the constituent benchmarks and to the benchmark
harness and source code.
The 9.12 suite comprises 14 benchmarks; six of these are entirely new,
one (h2) replaces hsqldb, and the remaining seven are significantly
updated versions of benchmarks from our previous release, with updated
inputs. The suite now includes application server workloads (tomcat,
tradebeans, and tradesoap). Nine of the benchmarks are multi-
threaded. We have retained four single-threaded benchmarks to
reflect the continuing importance of single threaded workloads.
Release notes are available here:

This release of the suite was developed primarily by Steve Blackburn,
Daniel Frampton, Robin Garner, and John Zigman of the ANU, with the
assistance of many contributors.
We are extremely grateful for the generous financial support of Intel,
which helped make this release possible.
We hope you enjoy using the suite.
Best wishes,
Steve Blackburn, ANU
