aJile Offers New Java Technology SoC for Smart Infrastructure DevelopmentsMar 09, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- aJile Systems Inc., a company founded by the developers of a direct-execution Java technology microprocessor, demonstrated its newest Java processor at the Embedded World Conference in Nuremberg, Germany. The aJ-102 is a complete SoC (system-on-chip) processor, customized for real-time, remote applications. aJile said that it is designed to add intelligence to next-generation smart infrastructure deployments, industrial processing applications and M2M (machine-to-machine) networks. aJile Java processors, the company said, are unlike any other CPU that runs Java code via interpreter or JIT software layers. As a Java direct-execution processor, the aJ-102 executes Java bytecode natively. aJile noted that this eliminates the power-sapping and time-consuming step of translating Java programs into a second machine language, as required by ARM, Intel and all other processors. In addition, the aJ-102 comes complete with a RTOS (real-time operating system) written entirely in Java, eliminating the need for any third-party software integration or licensing expense. The RTOS includes industry standard OSGi middleware, JME APIs, network stack, file system, security framework, a suite of software drivers, and real-time kernel, which the company said simplifies application development. The aJile RTOS executes real-time Java threading primitives to delivering superior performance for context switching and interrupt handling, a critical requirement for real-time operations, the company noted. "The demand for networked SoC processors is being driven by the convergence of two powerful forces, the accelerating ubiquity of 2.5G, 3G, LAN, and 802.11 networks, coupled with the growing desire for built-in intelligence as society makes multi-billion dollar investments in smart infrastructure," said Danh Le Ngoc, founder and V.P of marketing of aJile Systems. "With a 300 percent jolt in Java performance, and multi-core integration of DSP, encryption and network processing, our new aJ-102 is positioned to radically enhance the IQ of 21st century smart infrastructure."
