But the instructions are not clear.
Take for example the als benchmark for java renaissance.
It has a lot of options, one of them used to not force GC.
Was it set?
What version of Java?
I'm running openjdk 11.
When I launched it it gave me this warning
20/12/14 18:55:20 WARN NativeCodeLoader: Unable to load native-hadoop library for your platform... using builtin-java classes where applicable
And how much?
There are other warnings complaining about lacking some additional library and switching to default, but what really surprised me is that on this particular laptop that mounts an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6820HQ CPU @ 2.70GHz with 8 cores, a CPU at least 5 years old, I could beat the i9 benchmark.
The als benchmark for the i9 completed in 3581.838 ms, on my (very old) laptop the running time was 3533.964 ms.
