The Java programming language and standard libraries provide a portable
interface to traditional operating system services. We present a
set of microbenchmarks to help evaluate the performance of these services.
Building on previous work on operating system
microbenchmarks, we present an "apples-to-apples" comparison
of Java and C performance of memory bandwidth, file system, thread,
and network performance tests. We present experimental
results for several Java runtime systems on Windows NT, which show
both strengths and weaknesses of current Java implementations.
