Additional components, such as cache memory, communication systems, system software, etc. Referring now to FIG. However, it should be understood that the invention can be implemented in any environment.
First, at step S 1 , update scripts 13 , 35 are run as part of control process The update scripts will run on and update all the platforms that are part of the operation.
Thus, each of the host 10 and remote platforms 34 will include an update script that gets kicked off by the control process Update tasks may include: 1 checking all command line parameters, e.
Next, at step S 2 , control process 12 runs build and execute scripts 15 on the host platform Tasks performed by the scripts may include: 1 marking a start time for the script; 2 printing notices; 3 checking command line parameters; 4 terminating any processes e. Next at step S 3 , a build is initiated on each platform by a remote script. In a typical embodiment, this step is implemented with a compiler on each platform that compiles the source code. At step S 4 , build results for each platform are generated and captured.
In an illustrative embodiment, XML files are generated based on build errors and warning logs. At S 5 , a first version of the built application is run and tested on the host platform and at S 6 , remote versions of the built application are run and tested on the remote platforms Next, at step S 7 , run results are generated and captured from each platform.
As results are generated, results manager 18 may utilize a watcher script that is continuously run to find generated log files i. Tasks performed by the watcher script may include: 1 parsing the input configuration file for setup variables and system information; and 2 continuously cycling e. In addition, as shown in step S 8 , the results are processed and stored in a centralized results database Namely, the watcher script copies log files to the results database 22 and may convert the log files into a summarized text version or XML version that, e.

Netscape was committed to delivering Navigator on nearly a dozen different platforms, so Java seemed like the perfect solution. But Netscape's engineers couldn't make the language perform as Sun had advertised: Java was simply too slow.
Netscape's engineers tried writing their own Java implementation, thinking that they could build a version that was faster than Sun's, but even that didn't work. Not the best advertisement for a state-of-the-art programming language, one might argue.
Still, Java's supporters insist that many programs written in Java can be made to run as fast as programs in C. David Pollak, a San Francisco programmer who wrote an entire spreadsheet in Java and now does technology turn-arounds for companies that have Java disasters on their hands, is a huge fan of running Java applets inside Web servers: the performance difference between well-written Java and native C code is negligible, says Pollak. What really slows down Java programs, says Pollak, is when the Java applications try to display user interfaces on the screen of a computer.
One way that Pollak has found to speed up Java programs is to rewrite their user interfaces in Microsoft's Visual Basic. Pollak is a realist. It's true that some programs written in Java do seem to run nearly as fast as similar programs written in C. It's also true that this experience isn't universal. So what gives? A study of programming efficiency goes a long way toward explaining the conflicting experiences with Java's performance.
For the study, Lutz Prechelt, a senior research associate at the school of Informatics at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany, had 38 graduate students write 40 different versions of a simple text manipulation program. The results, published in Communications of the ACM, were revealing. Most of the Java programs, on the other hand, required between two and 30 minutes, with some taking more than an hour. In other words, the fastest Java programs, written by the most experienced Java programmers, could significantly outperform the poorly-written C programs.
But the typical Java program was much slower than the typical C program.
