A lightweight parallel java execution environment for embedded multiprocessor systems-on-chip

Published: 11 March 2007 Publication History

Abstract

Java is a very popular execution environment for embeddedsystems platforms. However, current industrial and research implementationfocus on single-processor platforms. In this paperwe analyze a prototype parallel Java Virtual Machine implementationtargeted to a symmetric multi-core architecture using sharedmemory communication. We focus on performance and energyanalysis, and we quantify the overheads of the virtual executionenvironment.
