We are pleased to report leading Java performance results on the upcoming Alibaba Cloud ARM ECS instances. We ran a Java eCommerce workload and achieved 130,899 throughput score and 113,033 response time score using Alibaba Cloud ARM ECS instance with 80 cores and 256GiB memory.
Over the years, Java has proliferated in Alibaba. Many applications are written in Java. In Alibaba, tens of thousands of Java developers have written more than a billion lines of Java code. Alibaba has customized most of its Java software based on the rich open-source ecosystem.
Alibaba Dragonwell, as a downstream version of OpenJDK, is the OpenJDK implementation optimized for various types of applications running on a large number of servers in Alibaba Cloud. Alibaba Dragonwell is the engine that runs those distributed Java applications.
Alibaba Dragonwell 8 and 11 were open-sourced in 2019 with x86-64 platform support. In 2020, Alibaba Dragonwell extended the support to the AArch64 platform.
Alibaba Dragonwell is a "friendly fork" under the same licensing terms as the upstream OpenJDK project. Alibaba is committed to collaborating closely with the OpenJDK community and intends to bring as many customized features as possible from Alibaba Dragonwell to the upstream.
The TRE business group drives auto-scaling and performance for software applications. The group delivers Site Productivity Efficiency Evaluation and Diagnostics (SPEED) that optimizes system performance at scale.
Alibaba ran a Java eCommerce benchmark on the upcoming ECS instance. All the benchmark components, including the controller, server, and client virtual machines, are running on the cloud instance of the ECS instance. We pulled out two performance metrics. The throughput score represents the sustainable full-system capacity throughput, and the response time score represents the system capacity throughput under response time constraints. Both numbers are the higher the better.

Performance scores showed in Figure 1 was obtained on the ECS instance with a whole socket of 80 cores and 256GiB memory using Alibaba Dragonwell JDK 11 and Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 in ECS virtualization environment.
Alibaba Dragonwell is a free distribution version of OpenJDK, which will offer long-term support, including performance enhancements and security fixes, from Alibaba Cloud.
