Java performance multi-core testing environment

Question

I am interested in learning as much as i can about tuning a multi-threaded java server on a multi-core machine. I wanted to write some test servers that i could use to test different scenarios. For example thread pool sizing. Unfortunately i don't have access to a large multi-core unix (linux or solaris) machine. I just have duo-core mac laptop.

Are there any good lease options for a dedicated, say 8 to 16 core machine, that i could distribute my java test servers?

Do you have a specific question here? This sounds quite vague and open-ended to me. Probably the best thing to do is find a good book on the topic. — Matt Ball

Sorry i'm asking if any one knows of a machine leasing option that would allow me to test java in a multi-core environment. — richs

This is not a programming question but a hardware purchase lease question appropriate to super-user or probably better server-fault. Should move to more appropriate forum. — Quaternion

Get an Amazon EC2 Quadruple Extra Large (u$d 1.60 per hour). It is a dual quad core computer, and each core can run 2 threads, so you get a total of 16 threads.

You can get more information here http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/ http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/hpc-applications/
