JMark Tests

JMark has two classes of tests: main and inspection. While all of JMark's tests measure performance, the main and inspection tests measure performance in different ways.

Main Tests

JMark's main tests, which are automatically selected by default, are:

Processor. This test is based on our extensive benchmarking and profiling experience of many different processor types and models. The Processor test measures your JVM's CPU performance by running a carefully balanced instruction mix; each module of the test performs one or more types of real work (such as graphics calculations or sorting data) to create an overall combined workload.

AWT Playback. This test replays the AWT instructions sent by the JVM to the graphics subsystem. The test replays several ZD-related Java scripts. The amount of time your JVM takes to complete the test is a factor in determining the score.

Inspection Tests

JMark also includes individual inspection tests that measure the performance of specific Java instructions or commands. Here, we've broken the list of inspection tests down into processor-based and graphics-based tests.

Processor-based

Complex Arithmetic
Fast Fourier
Threads
Vector
Stack

Graphics-based

The following tests replay Java's pre-set geometric objects.

Lines
Rectangles
Round Rectangles
Arcs
Ovals
Polygons
Text
Images - Paint Mode
Images - XOR Mode
Graphics Thread
