LONDON — A U.K. startup has designed a Java byte code processor around the ARCtangent-A4 32-bit RISC core and claims it achieves better Java performance than ARM's Jazelle at the same clock frequency.

Embedded Java implementations run up against performance problems because of the stack structures the language requires. Java implements a stack-based programming model, in which two stacks are ...

Cell phones using Sun Microsystems' Java software have finally begun shipping, but the real payoff is expected when phones begin using special Java chips to improve performance. Stephen Shankland ...

Jazelle Extension Another way to speed Java execution on a standard RISC architecture is to extend the architecture itself, to directly execute Java instructions. ARM designers added a new Java ...

The company is expected to announce plans to speed up its version of Java for servers by letting the software run directly on processors. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and wrote ...

Erm. Well. There are a lot of possible answers to that. Some points:<BR><BR>1. Java is generally compiled to bytecode, which is then interpreted at run-time. (There are exceptions, and some ...
