I've just uploaded 135200 bytes to ftp://gonzalez.cyberus.ca/pub/Linux/java/tya14.tgz What's new? This is pasted from README: --quote-- ...... 3. SOME RELEASE NOTES ===================== This release should show some general good speedup (5..20%) compared with previous TYA release. Some benchmarks show that TYA is still slower than sunwjit, but some other benchmarks like LINPACK or SCIMARK show that TYA can be _faster_ than sunwjit, at least on my P200. Also for some application usage like ``javac Sieve.java'' TYA here is faster than sunwjit. I've added some new approaches to TYA, for details (WHAT's NEW) look into the Changelog file. ..... --end quote-- Note for our newbies only: What's TYA..? TYA was the first Java JIT compiler for Linux, designed as add on to blackdown's JDK ports. Later I've ported TYA to run under FreeBSD too. The original TYA tgz-archive is released in source code only and of course under GPL license. As usual: NO secrets and NO traps. Compile & install is very easy, please read README file. BTW, TYA JIT is developed just_for_fun as a hobby only. So enjoy! Any feedback very welcome. Albrecht PS: also I've fixed some JNI problems. PPS: web masters, please update some of your outdated TYA links. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
