In this paper, we will present the evaluation results
for a Java processor, with respect to size and performance. The
Java Optimized Processor (JOP) is an implementation of the Java
virtual machine (JVM) in a low-cost FPGA. JOP is the smallest
hardware realization of the JVM available to date. Due to the
efficient implementation of the stack architecture, JOP is also
smaller than a comparable RISC processor in an FPGA.
Although JOP is intended as a processor for embedded realtime
systems, whereas accurate worst case execution time analysis
is more important than average case performance, its general
performance is still important. We will see that a real-time
processor architecture does not need to be slow.
