Abstract

This paper shows how a benchmark program can be utilized in a real-time system course to test six Java virtual machines for their suitability of supporting hard real time applications. This is a continuous effort following the work reported in [5]. With Java Hartstone benchmark, our experiment was carried out on a computer with both Windows Millennium and Linux operating systems using all four benchmark experiments under controlled conditions to provide reliable analysis. The characteristics and expected behavior of the benchmark are described with actual testing results presented and analyzed. A conclusion is drawn about suitability of these Java virtual machines in terms of their potentials for being included in real-time systems. The issues of using real-time benchmark programs in a real-time systems course are discussed.
