dedicating a processor to bytecode execution

Thread view:

Hello,

I was reading this article...

http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/coots97/full_papers/mulle
r/muller_html/node2.html

and I am interested in the section on "How to Improve Java Execution" :
"Java Processors", although I don't necessarily understand it yet. Is it
possible with a machine with multiple processor to dedicate a processor to
directly executing java bytecode, thereby improving the java performance?
If so, does anyone have any information on how to do this??

Thanks,
Ryan

I can't think of a situation where it would me more efficient to
dedicate a processor to a Java. You might as well use it for
something else when it is not busy. That would only make sense if that
processor were specially designed for Java.

The Java Processor thing is a small nich. Some are actually working on it.
I'm one of them. You can find more info at:
