Crafting a Java virtual machine in silicon

The aJile family of low-power, single-chip, embedded Java microcontrollers provides an efficient platform for embedded and real-time Java execution. The aJile CPU hardware provides direct support for the entire JVM instruction set and thread model, obviating the need for a Java interpreter or just-in-time compiler, as well as the traditional 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 allow the development of real-time embedded applications entirely in Java
