BAH! The AS/400s JVM seems to be out of data... :P Of course, IBM has to
make it incredibly difficult to update anything on the AS/400. I can't even
get the PTFs to update it, I gotta have some IT guy do it... REALLY
annoying...
Oh well...
Anyway, the benchmarks were:
256k FFT
2.573s/iteration
The way IBM does things on the AS/400 are just so danged weird... For
example, before "creating the java program" (via CRTJVAPGM) and upping the
optimization on it, I was getting some 8s/iter ... What the heck the
CRTJVAPGM command does is beyond me... (You can set the optimization level
via the JAVA command on the AS/400 anyway)...
Add to that the fact that the file system on the AS/400 is so wacky, it
sucks...
Oh well, back to real work I suppose. Perhaps I'll get the newer version
done later tonight...
