[quote]Ken,

I’m a lot happier if this really is only a change for 1.6.0 by the way - even if this is regarded as a coding ‘bug’, it seems a major change for an _XX revision to the JVM.

Thanks again for your time on this.

Actually this bug only happens in 6.0. I’m the responsible engineer for this bug, and I think I know what the problem is. Basically I didn’t code the Log intrinsics the same way for both the interpreter and the compiler. Since the Log intrinsic is only 6.0, the fix will be 6.0 only as well

Azeem,

Thanks for the update - nice to know that you are on the case.

Hi Rob,

GeForce 3, Linux, AMD 2500+, 512M, latest drivers got me 83 fps.

The bug is fixed, and should be in Java 6.0 build 19

Gotta love those sneaky bugs in “minor” changes. Nice work anyway. :slight_smile:

As for the performance.
Dell Inspiron 9200 - 2.1GHz Centrino + Mobile ATI 9700 = 104fps with standard Dell drivers.

I guess the DNA and Omega drivers would improve this a little.

ps. what’s this about jdk 6.0, etc? :wink:

Girvine (and Elam and others),

Thanks for the feedback figures.

Java 6.0 (Mustang) very early snapshot releases are available here:

I get about 120fps on my nVidia.

Whoops, missed the build 19 cutoff, its in build 20 :slight_smile:

Azeem,

Thanks - I’ll keep an eye out for it.

Hi,

Not sure if you’re still looking for results, but I just ran it and get anywhere from 80-110 fps on athlon 3000+, geforce 4 ti something, fedora core 3…

I got 136fps on my Athlon XP 3200+, Nvidia FX5700.

emarcotte, Azeem,

Thanks for the feedback.

Azeem - you’re the winner of the ‘highest frame rate’ competition so far !

Rob

WinXP SP1, nVidia GeForce 3 ti200

82fps
