Esmertec And ARM Collaborate to Optimize Java Application Performance in Wireless Devices
Duebendorf-Zurich, Switzerland and Cambridge, UK – Nov. 17, 2004 –
Esmertec™, a leading provider of software solutions for mobile phones and
embedded devices, and ARM [(LSE: ARM); (Nasdaq: ARMHY)], today announced
at the European ARM Technology Congress in Paris, France, that Esmertec will
provide optimized software support for the ARM® Jazelle® technology into its
Jbed™ Advanced family of Java™ solutions. This agreement forms part of a
broader relationship between the two companies to further enhance Java
performance on the ARM architecture.
Esmertec will add specific features coupling its high-performance Java compiler
software with ARM Jazelle technology to Esmertec’s Jbed Connected Limited
Device Configuration (CLDC) and Connected Device Configuration (CDC) JVM
platforms, to provide an optimized software solution for the widely deployed ARM
Jazelle acceleration technology.
The solution will deliver a compelling user experience with multimedia
applications for consumer products such as mobile phones, set-top boxes and
other embedded devices.
“Consumer demand for rich media applications and functions such as game and
video downloads will continue to drive Java technology’s momentum,” said
Christophe Francois, senior vice president, Strategic Marketing, Esmertec.
“Through this agreement, device manufacturers deploying ARM Jazelle technology
will be able to leverage a best-in-class solution featuring Java multitasking and
very fast application performance within a very low footprint and at very low
power, to deliver the rich experience that end users are demanding on a variety
of mobile and embedded devices.”
“Java technology continues to drive adoption of mobile data services, and is
expected to reach 1.5 billion consumers by 2007,” said Chris Porthouse, Execution
Environments product manager, ARM. “As device manufacturers continue to
introduce more complex Java technology enabled devices, issues such as speed
performance and application start-time become paramount. Esmertec is
introducing innovative enhancements to tightly couple their compiler technology
with Jazelle technology in their JVM and consumers will benefit from significant
reductions in Java technology latency and improved system performance on
feature-rich embedded devices.”
Pricing and Availability
Esmertec will support ARM Jazelle technology in its Jbed Advanced solutions from
Q1 2005.
