JOP: A Java Optimized Processor
نویسنده
چکیده
Java is still not a common language for embedded systems. It posses language features, like thread support, that can improve embedded system development, but common implementations as interpreter or just-in-time compiler are not practical. JOP is a hardware implementation of the Java Virtual Machine with focus on real-time applications. This paper describes the architecture of JOP and proposes a simple real-time extension of Java for JOP. First application in an industrial system showed that JOP is one way to use Java in the embedded world.

Evaluation of a Java Processor
In this paper, we will present the evaluation results for a Java processor, with respect to size and performance. The Java Optimized Processor (JOP) is an implementation of the Java virtual machine (JVM) in a low-cost FPGA. JOP is the smallest hardware realization of the JVM available to date. Due to the efficient implementation of the stack architecture, JOP is also smaller than a comparable R...
متن کاملA Java processor architecture for embedded real-time systems
Architectural advancements in modern processor designs increase average performance with features such as pipelines, caches, branch prediction, and out-of-order execution. However, these features complicate worst-case execution time analysis and lead to very conservative estimates. JOP (Java Optimized Processor) tackles this problem from the architectural perspective – by introducing a processo...

متن کاملUsing a Java Optimized Processor in a Real World Application
Java, a popular programming language on desktop systems, is rarely used in embedded systems. Some features of Java, like thread support in the language, could greatly simplify development of embedded systems, but the common implementations of the JVM (Java Virtual Machine), as interpreter or just-in-time compiler, are not practical. This paper describes an alternative approach: JOP (a Java Opti...
متن کاملOptimizing Java Bytecode for Embedded Systems
Modern Java Virtual Machines (JVM) for desktop and server computers use just-in-time (JIT) compilation to increase their performance. For embedded Java processors, JIT usually is not feasable. Therefore the java bytecode needs to be optimized for a specific platform ahead-of-time. To generate optimized bytecode for the JOP Java processor several existing tools were compared. In order to impleme...
