The Renaissance Benchmark Suite aggregates common modern JVM workloads, including, but not limited to, Big Data, machine-learning, and functional programming. The suite is intended to be used to optimize just-in-time compilers, interpreters, GCs, and for tools such as profilers, debuggers, or static analyzers, and even different hardware. It is intended to be an open-source, collaborative project, in which the community can propose and improve benchmark workloads.
