When considering a benchmark to determine the overall performance of a Java application, the impact of byte code execution, graphics and native code execution varies depending on the nature of the ...

Direct execution of Java byte code is possible thanks to a Java extension to the ARM processor core by ARM Ltd., Cambridge, England. Known as Jazelle, the new Java acceleration feature initially ...

Speaking at the Hot Chips Conference, HSA Foundation president Phil Rogers has provided more details on plans to bring GPU acceleration to Java in time for Java 9 in 2015.

Java was designed to run in its own environment, with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to manage application resources during execution. The JVM is how Java achieves portability – Java applications are ...

With Java 9, support for parallel execution on HSA-compatible processors will be native, Rogers said in an interview following the presentation.

Similarly, software exceptions will exit the Java execution state and start executing a native code-exception handler. Using minimal power, the Java support requires only an additional 12 kgates.

A serious vulnerability in a popular Java library puts thousands of Java applications and servers at risk of remote code execution attacks.

A remote code vulnerability residing in the widely used Apache Commons library has put many Java-based applications at risk.

The result is a 10X performance enhancement that delivers full-motion, 16-bit color animation on the wireless mobile device's 320x240 QVGA display--performance that rivals the Java execution of a ...
