What is JMark 2.0 and what does it do?

JMark 2.0 tests the performance of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), a software-created space that runs Java applets. JMark can run on 32-bit Windows, Mac OS systems, OS/2, and Solaris systems.

Most Java-capable browsers include their own versions of the JVM, which means Java performance can differ based on the JVM you're using and, in some cases, the OS the JVM is running on. (PC Magazine's JMark 1.0 tests showed that Microsoft's Internet Explorer led Netscape Navigator in JVM performance, with some tests scoring better on Windows NT systems.)

While you don't absolutely positively need a browser to run JMark (Sun releases a free Java Runtime Environment, which lets you run Java applications under Windows or Solaris), using a browser is easier and more common.

JMark 2.0's tests include measures of both your JVM's processor and graphics activity. The main tests measure overall performance, while the inspection tests measure specific Java capabilities. JMark 2.0 differs from JMark 1.0 in significant ways.
