System Specifications

Zing™ is a 100% Java-compatible JVM based on Oracle HotSpot. The Zing JDK is simple to install and requires no coding change to the application. Zing can be configured to run x86 Java workloads or can, via a patented launch mechanism, transparently offload Java execution from legacy environments, such as Solaris SPARC, to x86 platforms.

To check your system's Java settings for compatibility with the Zing JVM, download the Azul Inspector tool here »
