IBM Semeru Runtimes use the class libraries from OpenJDK, along with the Eclipse OpenJ9 Java Virtual Machine to enable developers to build and deploy Java applications that will start quickly, deliver great performance, all while using less memory.

    Key highlights of these runtimes include:

  • Provides a stable, no-cost environment for developing Java workloads
  • Available across a wide variety of hardware and software platforms, including on-premises, in public cloud, or on container orchestrators like Kubernetes and OpenShift
  • Includes commonly used JDK releases like the JDK 8 and JDK 11 Long Term Support (LTS) releases
  • Performance benefits from deep technology investment in Eclipse OpenJ9
  • Zero usage restrictions, so you can use these runtimes for development or in production

You can review the performance overview at: https://www.eclipse.org/openj9/performance/. It looks pretty impressive.
