Do you mean the chip that put the JVM on?
- Agathos 13y agoThe late-90s project I'm thinking of was called picoJava. Apparently it lives on in some form. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PicoJava http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PicoJava http://news.cnet.com/2100-1001-237302.html http://news.cnet.com/2100-1001-237302.html http://www.javaworld.com/article/2077295/sun-s-picojava-i-core-is-ready-for-prime-time.html http://www.javaworld.com/article/2077295/sun-s-picojava-i-co...
- dclara 13y agoThank you for your references. I remember that a lot of people complained about Java is too slow since it's an interpret language, as apposed to compilation language like C/C++ which executes the machine code fast. So a hardware JVM interpreter makes a lot more sense. Somehow, Sun aborted that plan, but the JIT became farter now. But I still don't get it why it has anything to do the AMD's new APU?
