Mystifying microbenchmark result for stream API on Java 12 vs. Java 8 with -gc true

As part of my investigation on the difference between using a complex filter or multiple filters in streams, I notice that performance on Java 12 is way slower than on Java 8.

Is any explanation for those weird results? Did I miss something here?

Configuration:

  • java 8

    • OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_181-8u181-b13-2~deb9u1-b13)
    • OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.181-b13, mixed mode)
  • java 12

    • OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 12+33)
    • OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 12+33, mixed mode, sharing)
  • VM options: -XX:+UseG1GC -server -Xmx1024m -Xms1024m

  • CPU: 8 cores

JMH Throughput Results:

  • Warmup: 10 iterations, 1 s each
  • Measurement: 10 iterations, 1 s each
  • Threads: 1 thread, will synchronize iterations
  • Units: ops/s

Stream + complex filter

public void complexFilter(ExecutionPlan plan, Blackhole blackhole) {
        long count = plan.getDoubles()
                .stream()
                .filter(d -> d < Math.PI
                        && d > Math.E
                        && d != 3
                        && d != 2)
                .count();

        blackhole.consume(count);
    }

Stream + multiple filters

public void multipleFilters(ExecutionPlan plan, Blackhole blackhole) {
        long count = plan.getDoubles()
                .stream()
                .filter(d -> d > Math.PI)
                .filter(d -> d < Math.E)
                .filter(d -> d != 3)
                .filter(d -> d != 2)
                .count();

        blackhole.consume(count);
    }

Parallel stream + complex filter

public void complexFilterParallel(ExecutionPlan plan, Blackhole blackhole) {
        long count = plan.getDoubles()
                .stream()
                .parallel()
                .filter(d -> d < Math.PI
                        && d > Math.E
                        && d != 3
                        && d != 2)
                .count();

        blackhole.consume(count);
    }

Parallel stream + multiple filters

public void multipleFiltersParallel(ExecutionPlan plan, Blackhole blackhole) {
        long count = plan.getDoubles()
                .stream()
                .parallel()
                .filter(d -> d > Math.PI)
                .filter(d -> d < Math.E)
                .filter(d -> d != 3)
                .filter(d -> d != 2)
                .count();

        blackhole.consume(count);
    }

Old fashion java iteration

public void oldFashionFilters(ExecutionPlan plan, Blackhole blackhole) {
        long count = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < plan.getDoubles().size(); i++) {
            if (plan.getDoubles().get(i) > Math.PI
                    && plan.getDoubles().get(i) > Math.E
                    && plan.getDoubles().get(i) != 3
                    && plan.getDoubles().get(i) != 2) {
                count = count + 1;
            }
        }

        blackhole.consume(count);
    }

You can try by yourself by running docker command:

For Java 8:

docker run -it volkodav/java-filter-benchmark:java8

For Java 12:

docker run -it volkodav/java-filter-benchmark:java12

Thanks, everyone for the help and especially to @Aleksey Shipilev!

After applied changes to JMH benchmark, the results look more realistic (?)

Changes:

  1. Change the setup method to be executed before/after each iteration of the benchmark.

    @Setup(Level.Invocation) -> @Setup(Level.Iteration)

  2. Stop JMH forcing GC between iterations. Forcing Full GC before each iteration is quite likely to throw off GC heuristics. (c) Aleksey Shipilev

    -gc true -> -gc false

Note: gc false by default.

Comparison tables

Based on new performance benchmarks there is no performance degradation on Java 12 compare to Java 8.

Note: After those changes, the throughput error for a small array size significantly increased for more than 100%, for a large dataset remain the same.
