Meet Java's savior, Henry Massalin: cs.columbia.edu cs.columbia.edu The Synthesis kernel combines several new techniques to provide high performance without sacrificing the expressive power or security of the system. The new ideas include: Run-time code synthesis -- a systematic way of creating executable machine code at runtime to optimize frequently-used kernel routines -- queues, buffers, context switchers, interrupt handlers, and system call dispatchers -- for specific situations, greatly reducing their execution time. Fine-grain scheduling -- a new process-scheduling technique based on the idea of feedback that performs frequent scheduling actions and policy adjustments (at sub-millisecond intervals) resulting in an adaptive, self-tuning system that can support real-time data streams. Lock-free optimistic synchronization is shown to be a practical, efficient alternative to lock-based synchronization methods for the implementation of multiprocessor operating system kernels. An extensible kernel design that provides for simple expansion to support new kernel services and hardware devices while allowing a tight coupling between the kernel and the applications, blurring the distinction between user and kernel services. The result is a significant performance improvement over traditional operating system implementations in addition to providing new services. ********************** The origin of Hotspot. Maybe Sun should just hire the guy instead of stealing his work so we don't have to waste another two years on the JavaOS.

If JAVA is hype, then why is ORCL making sure you can use JAVA with all of it's product line???? Oracle Ships Oracle(R) AppBuilder for Java in JDeveloper Suite(TM) New Suite of Component-Based Development Products Offers a Complete Solution To Quickly Build and Deploy Database Applications Using Java REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., April 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle Corp. (Nasdaq: ORCL) today announced that Oracle(R) AppBuilder for Java v1.0 will ship as part of Oracle's new JDeveloper Suite. Available immediately, JDeveloper Suite(TM) enables customers to build server-based solutions, moving complex application logic off the client onto scalable, professionally managed application servers. Businesses benefit from sever-deployed applications as the applications become more accessible to the end users and managing the application from a manageable, central server dramatically lowers client administration costs. Already in the hands of 1,500 independent software vendors, JDeveloper Suite answers developers' growing need to use a single, integrated set of products to build and deploy sophisticated enterprise database applications using Java. JDeveloper Suite includes AppBuilder for Java, Oracle(R) Application Server 4.0, Oracle8(TM) Database Server and Symantec's Visual Page HTML editor. Additionally, developers will receive a one-year membership to the Oracle Technology Network, a program to support Oracle developers. JDeveloper Suite, the Complete Solution for Java JDeveloper Suite answers developers growing need to use a single, integrated set of products to build and deploy sophisticated enterprise database applications using Java. "Java is the language of the network computing platform. Oracle plans to support Java on all three tiers of the network computing platform-300% Pure Java," said Sohaib Abbasi, senior vice president of the Tools Division at Oracle. "Today, Oracle has delivered JDeveloper Suite-the best Java development environment to build database applications that fully leverage the platform." The Broadest Range of Database Connectivity Options AppBuilder for Java offers developers the broadest range of data access capabilities in the industry. Embedded within AppBuilder for Java are Oracle's JDBC drivers providing 100% Pure Java or native connectivity to Oracle7(TM) or Oracle8. AppBuilder for Java is seamlessly integrated with SQLJ, the industry standard precompiler for embedding SQL directly in Java source code. SQLJ provides huge productivity benefits for application developers allowing them to write less code to access database information. "We reviewed almost every other competing product on the market. After that analysis, we concluded that AppBuilder for Java provided the most effective IDE for building enterprise class database applications in Java," said Chris Nelson, president, Zoot Banking. "We intend to use AppBuilder for Java for all our Java development needs." N-Tier, Component Based Java Applications AppBuilder for Java is tightly integrated with the Oracle Application Server 4.0 taking advantage of the platform's unique services. Java developers can create reusable JCORBA cartridges for deployment on the Oracle Application Server. JCORBA cartridges are industry standard components that contain business logic written in Java, accessible through an embedded CORBA 2.0 compliant ORB. In the future, developers will be able to build and deploy industry standard Enterprise JavaBeans using AppBuilder for Java. Dynamic HTML development is possible with AppBuilder for Java through its integration with the Oracle Application Server's JWeb cartridge. This enables developers to write Java code on the middle tier, which dynamically generates HTML to be sent back to the client.
