RTOS support for Java virtual machine
The newest release of the NewMonics PERC Java virtual machine (JVM) will support Accelerated Technology's popular Nucleus real-time operating system.
Java virtual machine aims for carrier control
NewMonics has developed the first Java virtual machine specifically for use in the product development life cycle of the management and control plane functions of carrier-class products.
System 550 is used in applications as diverse as flight test, satellite command and control, avionics test and integration, and space communications.
For the System 550 upgrade, L-3 selected the PERC VM to replace the existing Java VM in order to enhance performance and supportability while maintaining Java Standard Edition compatibility.
PERC is the leading clean-room solution for embedded J2SE Java developers, featuring paced, reliable garbage collection, predictable performance, and compatibility with a broad range of off-the-shelf components.

Virtual machine serves hard-real-time tasks
A precommercial "proof of concept" release of PERC Pico technology is available now for qualified developers.
"PERC provides Java developers with the best path to high productivity for complex embedded applications such as the System 550", said Dave Wood, Aonix Product Manager.
"We're pleased that L-3 has recognised the value of PERC for their time to market needs for this strategic programme".
"PERC provides an excellent fit for our needs", noted Gilles K Bidy, Senior Software Manager of L-3 Communications.
"We were able to migrate from the previous Java VM to PERC in a matter of weeks with no real technical issues".
"An unexpected but welcome benefit of the migration to PERC was that it brought us notable performance improvements".
First introduced nine years ago, PERC is the most widely used real-time virtual machine available for Java developers, with fielded installations in telecommunications, telematics, avionics, deep space exploration and office automation applications.
PERC supports most major real-time operating systems and a variety of target processors including PowerPC, XScale, ARM, and Intel x86 architectures.
PERC is a clean-room virtual machine expressly created for demanding embedded and real-time systems requiring J2SE support.
PERC delivers the ease and efficiency of Java Standard Edition support without sacrificing integrity, performance, or real-time behaviour.
It offers AOT and JIT compilation, remote debug support, deterministic garbage collection, standard graphics and extended commercial RTOS support.
The PERC product line also features PERC Pico, a virtual machine designed for hard real-time applications requiring fast execution, small footprint, and access to low-level devices.
