When considering a benchmark to determine the overall performance of a Java application, the impact of byte code execution, graphics and native code execution varies depending on the nature of the ...

Embedded Java implementations run up against performance problems because of the stack structures the language requires. Java implements a stack-based programming model, in which two stacks are ...

Direct execution of Java byte code is possible thanks to a Java extension to the ARM processor core by ARM Ltd., Cambridge, England. Known as Jazelle, the new Java acceleration feature initially ...

To reduce application execution time, Java’s segmented code cache would be extended with an optional “hot” code heap to compactly accommodate a part of non-profiled methods, under a draft ...

Speaking at the Hot Chips Conference, HSA Foundation president Phil Rogers has provided more details on plans to bring GPU acceleration to Java in time for Java 9 in 2015.

With Java 9, support for parallel execution on HSA-compatible processors will be native, Rogers said in an interview following the presentation.

Similarly, software exceptions will exit the Java execution state and start executing a native code-exception handler. Using minimal power, the Java support requires only an additional 12 kgates.

A serious vulnerability in a popular Java library puts thousands of Java applications and servers at risk of remote code execution attacks.

A remote code vulnerability residing in the widely used Apache Commons library has put many Java-based applications at risk.

A popular Java library has a serious vulnerability, discovered over nine months ago, that continues to put thousands of Java applications and servers at risk of remote code execution attacks.
