| Abstract | The extra abstraction layer posed by the virtual machine, the JIT compilation cycles and the asynchronous garbage collection are the main reasons that make the benchmarking of Java code a delicate task. The primary weapon in battling these is replication: "billions and billions of runs", is phrase sometimes used by practitioners. This paper describes a case study, which consumed hundreds of hours of CPU time, and tries to characterize the inconsistencies in the results we encountered. |
