Real-time objects on the bare metal: an efficient hardware realization of the JavaTM Virtual Machine

Combining the design-time efficiency of object oriented development with the runtime efficiency of direct hardware support for object oriented execution, aJile Systems has developed a low-power hardware implementation of the Java Virtual Machine for real time and embedded applications. AJile´s hardware provides direct support for the entire JVM instruction set and thread model, obviating the need for a Java interpreter or Just-in-Time (JIT) compiler, as well as the traditional Real-Time Operating System (RTOS). AJile´s hardware technology also supports multiple JVM contexts executing on the same CPU, enhancing safety and security by guaranteeing space and time allotments for multiple Java applications. Combined with a Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) runtime and a back-end target build tool, these technologies constitute an efficient platform for the development of real time embedded applications entirely in Java
