Accelerator chip speeds mobile Java performance
New from Nazomi Communications, the JA108 Java accelerator chip improves Java software execution while extending battery life in mobile wireless applications, such as 2G/2.5G/3G phones.
Acceleration speeds Java device deployment
Nazomi Communications has set up a strategic agreement with Aplix Corp to provide powerful Java multimedia functionality to wireless mobile handsets and consumer electronics products.
The compiler developed by Excelsior is being made available to Nazomi's worldwide customers.
This tool enables mobile handset manufacturers and related third party ISVs to easily port existing C language video, audio and 2D/3D middleware libraries for Nazomi's multimedia processors.
This allows mobile handset carriers to deploy additional services for handsets equipped with Nazomi's multimedia processors.
With ever increasing demand for middleware libraries, cellphone manufacturers can now offer field upgrades enabling additional revenue sources for phone carriers.
"The toolkit we developed for Nazomi is the first of its kind because it includes a C compiler that generates code for a family of Java hardware accelerators", said Vitaly Mikheev, Excelsior's CTO.
"Nazomi's multimedia processor architecture is quite unique, and the creation of a production-quality optimising compiler was a challenging and innovative project".
"It required a substantial amount of our compiler expertise".
"The project has been completed on time and on budget, a welcome result for such an R and D project, especially one that was outsourced", commented Mukesh Patel, CTO and Chairman of Nazomi Communications.
"Excelsior provided us a complete solution that enables our customers to deploy additional multimedia features at a rapid pace".
The new C compiler toolset is available now from Nazomi.
This toolset enables firmware developers to compile any C program, without any modifications or performance penalties.
The JA108 and MX280 processors are compatible with many embedded microprocessor, SoC or mobile handset chipsets for GSM, GPRS, CDMA and WCDMA, PCS and PHS.
They are compliant with all Java standards and adaptable to any Java virtual machine, offering Java-based, as well as native multimedia applications on wireless handsets.
Nazomi's multimedia processors are designed to be completely transparent to existing designs and legacy operating systems.
