Benchmark Dalvik, Hard-Float OpenJDK for ARM and JAVA SE with SciMark

Registered by Zach Pfeffer

Why?
Benchmarking SciMark with the hard-float OpenJDK for ARM and Dalvik on the same platform is a means for approximating the amount of headroom available to optimize in Dalivk.

Context?
This is part of the larger ARM benchmarking effort and to inform a possible Dalvik optimization effort.

What gets produced?
A set of measurements on a Wiki, documentation for producing those measurements and a script to automate the measurements.

 Where will the work get put?
Th scripts will be put in git and the docs on the Wiki or Google Doc.

Notes:
[2012/9/25 pfefferz] Please put notes here.
[2012/10/03 vishalbhoj] We can run the scimark2 jar on android after converting it to dex format.
[2012/10/04 vishalbhoj] Dalvik seems to beat OpenJDK comfortably (both in server configuration and client configuration) by 1.5x to 2x better performance by Dalvik and that is because OpenJDK is running in interpreter mode. I tried to use CACAO JVM (which has someJIT support) which crashed on OpenJDK 6 and it doesn't seem to be supported on OpenJDK 7 yet.
[2012/10/22 vishabhoj] Here are the results of the profiling for speed:
From current analysis this is what I see on Panda :
