Java Optimized Processor (JOP)
is a Java processor
, an implementation of Java Virtual Machine
(JVM) in hardware.
JOP is free hardware under the GNU General Public License
, version 3.
The intention of JOP is to provide a small hardware JVM for embedded real-time systems. The main feature is the predictability of the execution time of Java bytecodes. JOP is implemented over an FPGA.
