Abstract

This paper proposes a multithreaded Java processor as an IP core for Altera's System-on-Programmable-Chip environment. The processor core is an enhancement of the earlier developed multithreaded Java processor named Komodo. It features a real-time capable garbage collection and integrated real-time scheduling schemes. Hence, it is suitable for embedded hard, soft, and non realtime systems. The facts that the processor is designed as an IP core and that it is a special Java processor makes both easier: hardware design and software development.
