HP announces the availability of NonStop Server for Java™ 6.0 Software on HP Integrity NonStop BladeSystems (product ID: QSJ96V6) and HP Integrity NonStop NS-series servers (product ID: HSJ96V6).
- NonStop Server for Java (NSJ) 6.0 delivers
Compatibility with Java SE 6.0 Platform specification:NonStop Server for Java 6.0 is a certified implementation of the Java SE 6.0 Platform, and implements all Application Programming Interfaces (API) and tools that are defined for a “Headless”configuration of Java SE 6.0 Platform. To view a complete list of features and enhancements in Java SE 6.0 Platform, refer to: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/features.html.
- New HotSpot compiler resulting in improved performance:
NonStop Server for Java 6.0 includes a new HotSpot compiler optimized for Java execution on the Intel® Itanium® processor architecture. The use of the new HotSpot compiler can improve performance of your Java applications by as much as 30 percent over NonStop Server for Java 5.0, based on HP internal benchmark tests.
- Thread blocking OSS file I/O:
Unlike previous versions of NonStop Server for Java, NonStop Server for Java 6.0 does not block the JVM process when making OSS file I/O calls, but merely blocks the calling thread. This enables the NonStop Server for Java 6.0 JVM to run other threads while waiting for the OSS file I/O to complete, thus improving application throughput..
- Improved profiling with HP specific Java runtime option:
NonStop Server for Java 6.0 implements two HP specific Java runtime options— eprof and verbosegc—that enables collection of detailed data related to application profiling and JVM Garbage Collection (GC) activities. The analysis of profiling data and GC activity data can help you to fine-tune your application prior to production deployment.
- Real-time analysis of profiling and GC activity data:
NonStop Server for Java 6.0 implements HPjmeter “agent” software that collects profiling and GC activity data and forwards them to a HPjmeter console running on Windows or HP-UX server while the Java application is running on NonStop servers. This allows real-time analysis and visualization of your application profile and GC activity. The HPjmeter console can be downloaded at no cost from the HP Website: http://www.hp.com/go/hpjmeter.
The minimum NonStop OS versions required to run NSJ 6.0 Software are:
- J06.04 for Integrity NonStop BladeSystems
- H06.15 for Integrity NonStop NS-series servers
NSJ 6.0 also includes:
- Toolkit for NonStop Servers Software which provides you with application program interfaces (APIs) and tools that allow you to take advantage of the productivity features of the Java language and leverage existing knowledge and skill sets to design new applications that provide deep integration with existing software assets, such as Pathway applications and Enscribe files.
- Type 2 JDBC drivers for NonStop SQL/MX and NonStop SQL/MP
