Azul Zulu Prime Builds of OpenJDK System Requirements
Azul Platform Prime is a JDK that implements the umbrella Java Specification Request (JSR) for applicable Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) versions (for example, JSR 336 for Java SE 7); and constitutes a “Compliant Implementation” under the specification licenses for the final release umbrella JSR specifications that Azul Zulu Prime JVM implements.
Azul Zulu Prime Builds of OpenJDK (Azul Zulu Prime JVM) include dynamic “just-in-time” (JIT) compiler technologies that adaptively compile Java bytecodes into optimized machine instructions, and manages the Java heap using Garbage Collector technology developed by Azul Systems.
Azul Zulu Prime JVM is supported on a variety of Linux distributions and x64 processor architectures. A current list of supported Linux operating systems and x64 architecture CPUs is covered in the remaining chapters and Release Notes.

Note
|
Using Azul Zulu Prime JVM without Azul Zulu Prime System Tools (ZST) requires the memfd_create(2) system call. This system call is available since mainline Linux 3.17 and it was backported to the operating system versions listed above. If you want to run Azul Platform Prime on an older operating system, you need to install ZST in addition to Azul Zulu Prime JVM.
