Download 

JRockit JavaTM Virtual Machine is designed for server side Java 
execution to deliver performance and scalability suitable for 
enterprise computing

San Mateo, CA, January 17, 2002, Appeal Virtual Machines, a 
technology leader in manageable and high performance Virtual Machines 
for the Java platform, today announced version 3.1 of the company's 
JRockit product line, available immediately for download from the 
company's web site at www.jrockit.com. The free trial license allows 
for 30 days of testing, benchmarking and production evaluation.

"Our engineering team is focused on optimizing scalability and 
performance of the JRockit JVM. The team is leveraging the solid 
architecture of JRockit to deliver significant enhancements against 
aggressive development schedules. We have come a long way in 
improving the execution of server side Java and we will continue to 
deliver state of the art virtual machines," said David Parker, CEO, 
Appeal Virtual Machines.

Appeal Virtual Machines' JRockit 3.1 features several performance 
enhancements such as improved code generation, a newly designed 
parallel garbage collector for multiprocessor systems and faster 
startup. Increased performance of the generated code gives faster 
execution of Java programs. Newly designed parallel garbage collector 
uses all processors, thus decreasing the pause times. Improved 
efficiency of the JIT compiler and runtime system gives shorter 
startup time. 

Internal tests once again show record scalability. JRockit is 
certified by Sun Microsystems as fully compatible with the Java2 
Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) on the Windows NT/2000/XP, Solaris 
and Linux operating systems. 

Appeal Virtual Machines' JRockit products are designed and optimized 
for the demands of server side execution of Java technology, 
including multi-user scalability, non-disruptive garbage collectors, 
optimizations targeted for multiprocessors, and the ability to 
monitor and manage the execution of Java technology based 
applications.
