Performance benchmarks of Infinispan in local mode
Performance   In the process of testing and tuning Infinispan on very large clusters, we have started to put together a benchmarking framework. As a part of this framework, we have the ability to measure cache performance in standalone, local mode. We compared Infinispan 4.0 in local mode against the latest JBoss Cache release (3.2.2.GA) and EHCache (1.7.2). Some background on the tests: Used a latest snapshot of the CacheBenchFwk Run on a RHEL 5 server with 4 Intel Xeon cores, 4GB of RAM Sun JDK 1.6.0_18, with -Xms1g -Xmx1g Test run on a single node, with 25 concurrent threads, using randomly generated Strings as keys and values and a 1kb payload for each entry, with a 80/20 read/write ratio. Performance measured in transactions per second (higher = better).     In summary, what we have here is that when run in local mode, Infinispan is a high-performance standalone caching engine which offers a rich set of features while still being trivially simple to configure and use.
