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 "pretty much dead" and no realtime Java chip vendors exist.[2]

Implementations

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

Some commercial implementations included:

  • The aJile processor was the most successful ASIC Java processor.[1]
  • Cjip from Imsys Technologies. Available on boards and with wireless radios from AVIDwireless[6]
  • ARM926EJ-S was an ARM processor able to run Java bytecode, this technology being named Jazelle.
