Jon-Happy Holidays!-PSC1000 DOES run Java Bytecode. You have implied this yourself at the end of your post 4068. However, you still seem to be addressing the semantic gap between the patented PSC1000 architecture and the Java Virtual Machine which is very small. The current implementation, available in silicon, of the PSC1000 Java-native processor runs Java bytecode very efficiently at a low price. This does not mean it directly executes every bytecode. It should be noted also that the PSC1000 also runs C efficiently. Methodology and semantics seem to be the areas you desire to address. 1. ptsc.com KEY EXCERPT: ..."Why is the PSC1000 architecture so good at Java? Because our patented silicon implements the Java Virtual Machine! Java is designed to run on a stack oriented architecture resulting in the PSC1000 architecture being the optimal runtime platform. The zero-operand, 32-bit, stack oriented PSC1000 architecture is ideally suited to operate the Java Virtual Machine, executing many Java byte codes in a single instruction cycle! Our CPU is byte coded with a stacked ALU, local register stack, and sixteen global registers. The semantic gap between the patented PSC1000 architecture and the Java Virtual Machine is very small."... END EXCERPT 2.http://www.ptsc.com/news/pressrel/pr120197.html KEY EXCERPT: ..." "As was shown at COMDEX, the PSC1000 not only is running Java but is available for shipment now."... END EXCERPT 3.http://www.ptsc.com/news/pressrel/pr111797b.html KEY EXCERPT: ...""Unlike other Java chips that are still in the design phase, PSC1000 is in silicon and supports C and FORTH programming languages in addition to Java," said Morettini. "With a lower transistor count and a fundamentally different and simpler design, PSC1000 is perfect for high-volume, low power applications."..." END EXCERPT Jon, if you know of a better price/performance Java processor in silicon and available now, please let us know. Thanks. Aloha, Delite
