Java processor

Last updated

A Java processor is the implementation of the Java virtual machine (JVM) in hardware. In other words, the Java bytecode that makes up the instruction set of the abstract machine becomes the instruction set of a concrete machine. These were the most popular form of a high-level language computer architecture, and were "an attractive choice for building embedded and real-time systems that are programmed in Java". [1] However, as of 2017, embedded Java is no longer common and no realtime Java chip vendors exist. [2]

Implementations

There are several research Java processors tested on FPGA, including:

Some commercial implementations included:
