The author is rather confused about what's going on here.
> Things are starting to finally come together. Flash and huge performance gains, all in the same release. Flash is CPU hungry, so Android makes everything about the environment more efficient.
Adding JIT improves the speed of the Dalvik VM. But unless Adobe threw away their existing Flash codebase for the Android port, Flash is going to run as native code on the device, which is entirely outside the Dalvik VM. So these speed improvements will not affect Flash performance at all.
- archon810 16y agoThank you for clarifications, everyone (including Cyanogen himself). I've updated the article to reflect these.
- not_an_alien 16y agoExactly. Same for the system as a whole. It should be a nice boost for Apps/games available in the market though. Weird that they didn't have JIT until now.
- zwetan 16y agoFlash is certainly running as native code on the device as they do CPU and GPU optimization see http://tv.adobe.com/watch/flash-camp-san-francisco/flash-player-101-internals/ http://tv.adobe.com/watch/flash-camp-san-francisco/flash-pla... for more details also because Google is part of the Open Screen Project http://www.openscreenproject.org/partners/current_partners.html http://www.openscreenproject.org/partners/current_partners.h... those same CPU and GPU optimization could benefit Android itself (not only Flash) those partners are about being open to each others, exactly the opposite of you know who ;)
