Aonix Boosts Java™ Application Performance, Upgrades Libraries
PERC® 4.2 improves performance by up to 50% and updates J2SE™ libraries to support JDK 1.4 applications
Feb 22, 2005 - 19:53 PM
In this release, PERC 4.2 optimizes performance, delivering a 10-20 percent improvement on most benchmarks and up to 50 percent improvement on string and array-intensive benchmarks. By improving class loading technology, Aonix has boosted PERC’s performance on representative benchmarks by up to 30 percent.
“As developers discover that they can gain the ease and efficiency of Java without sacrificing application integrity, performance or real-time behavior, PERC is making its way into new markets such as in-vehicle infotainment devices, time-critical human-machine interfaces, and distributed embedded systems,” noted Jacques Brygier, VP of Marketing at Aonix. “To meet the needs of these markets, we have added capabilities, such as library support for AWT graphics and asynchronous I/O, relevant to those new markets. These developers need both superior execution speed and the improved developer productivity typical of Java-based applications.”
Aonix has extended the PERC libraries to broaden the resources available to its developers. PERC 4.2 provides important JDK 1.4 compatible libraries for non-graphical applications. For graphics-rich applications, PERC 4.2 adds support for the GNU Classpath implementation of AWT graphics libraries, providing a complement to the Eclipse SWT graphical library support, which is also available for PERC.
PERC 4.2 incorporates more than 15 new ease-of-use features to simplify programming and software maintenance. Aonix’s active partnering program ensures that PERC is kept current with the latest releases and technologies from key RTOS suppliers with specific support added for QNX 6.2.1 and 6.3, Monta Vista Linux 3.1, LynxOS 4.0, and LynxOS-178 2.0 platforms. The Linux, LynxOS, and QNX ports all offer the runtime.exec() service, allowing embedded Java programs easy access to the capabilities of other applications running on the same real-time operating system.
Aonix’s PERC is already established as the leading VM for deeply embedded real-time, mission-critical systems in applications such as network infrastructure, command and control, and process automation. With these additions, the new PERC VM version confirms its reliability and configurability for customer demands in in-vehicle and home infotainment systems as well as time-critical human-machine interfaces such as an emergency stop touch-panel button on an assembly line. Technical advancements such as AOT & JIT compilation, remote debug support, and deterministic garbage collector ensure that such advanced applications are able to achieve the real-time, deterministic behaviour critical to their success. PERC 4.2 supports development using the Java standard edition (J2SE™) libraries so that system designers can take advantage of the many Java-based resources available.
