Booth #2713
NewMonics, Inc., a leading supplier of advanced development tools for next-generation embedded systems, today delivered advanced compilation and debugging capabilities in its latest version of PERC 3.1. The PERC software platform, a premiere suite of development tools and run-time modules built on a clean-room implementation of a Java-compliant Virtual Machine, optimizes memory usage and enables developers to debug Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compiled code in applications deployed with any mix of interpreted or compiled code. By providing the ability to debug both compiled and interpreted code, NewMonics offers an unprecedented level of flexibility for Java developers by giving them the resources to develop and debug a wide range of applications optimized for small footprint or high performance. To see how PERC performs against its competition, visit NewMonics booth
(#2713) at Embedded Systems Conference in San Jose, CA from September 25-28.
With this software release, NewMonics extends PERC's unique memory management capabilities with several new innovations. PERC's new treeshaker automates method and class pruning, reducing application footprint by as much as 20-40%. Through enhanced control of garbage collection, developers can optimize the priority, collection rate and scheduling of garbage collection on the fly. By adding priority inheritance, NewMonics gives developers control of thread execution, ensuring predictable execution of high-priority threads. These enhancements extend PERC's superior solution, offering the reliability, accuracy and performance needed to meet the highly critical demands of telecommunications applications.
"The PERC software platform has been designed from the ground up to provide the advantages of a Java-compliant development environment with high performance and real-time control," noted Doug Higgins, President and CEO of NewMonics. "Now with these advanced debugging capabilities and memory optimizations, PERC gives developers advanced, sophisticated tools to build next-generation network equipment, such as optical switches or cellular base stations. This extends our solution, moving us towards becoming the leading Java technology supplier to the telecommunications market."
Recognizing that developer efficiency plays a critical role in meeting time-to-market schedules, NewMonics has added many additional optimizations to its repertoire of resources. Enhanced support of the Java debug wire protocol (JDWP) offers remote debugging on a number of target platforms with several JDWP-compliant debuggers, such as Metrowerks CodeWarrior, IBM Visual Age Micro Edition, Sun Forte, Borland Jbuilder and jdb Java debuggers.
With the ability to download AOT compiled code in standard class file format, NewMonics speeds class loading time by as much as sixteen times. A wide range of additional Java class libraries and support for JAR files rounds out PERC's compliance with Sun's Java 1.1 Library Specification. The java.util.timer class helps developers manage task scheduling. Support for the Java native interface (JNI) ensures that developers are able to integrate Java with any C/C++ code. By combining CodeWarrior and PERC, NewMonics delivers tools and resources in a single, integrated graphical user interface that eases development and improves times to market.
"PERC 3.1 takes developers to a new level of Java programming," stated Tim McGrath, Vice President of Product Marketing at NewMonics. "PERC's functionality and ease of use lets communications equipment manufacturers focus on what they do best--designing sophisticated application software for a market where cost and time to market are critical."
