Esmertec and ARM Collaborate to Optimize Java Application Performance in Wireless and Embedded Devices
Consumers to benefit from fast, low latency multimedia Java applications
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.
