Real time virtual machine supports multicore ARM processors

Tool supplier Atego has released Aonix Perc Ultra SMP 5.4, featuring new support for concurrent multiprocessor Garbage Collection (GC) technology on ARM multicore processors. The package enables symmetrical multiprocessor (SMP) based Java applications to execute efficiently in embedded ARM processor based systems "Atego extended the Aonix Perc Ultra SMP line to include ARM processors based on customer demand," said James Gambrell, executive chairman. "Having already demonstrated success with its non SMP version of Perc Ultra in a number of deployed systems, such as in flight entertainment and cabin management systems and a shipboard defence control application, our customers were anxious to move to multicore functionality. With this SMP version, Atego is pleased to fulfill the customer demand in such an exciting growth market."
