JVM - Java Virtual Machine expressly created for complex, robust embedded systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. . With the release, PERC becomes the first embedded JVM to provide enterprise-class profiling. The PERC 3.2.1 release also extends its support of leading RTOSs, introduces new support for debugging, and offers greatly reduced start-up time and footprint. Profiling is considered a significant breakthrough by engineers using Java to create their embedded products in that it helps optimize system performance by quickly pinpointing and resolving memory leaks and performance bottlenecks and ultimately speeds time to market. The advancement is the result of a NewMonics' agreement to port for re-sale the award-winning Optimizeit Profiler. "Our customers have found PERC has given them a competitive edge and want to harness PERC's capabilities in ever-more-demanding embedded Java See PersonalJava. applications," says Tim Tumilty, Vice President Sales and Marketing for NewMonics.

The PERC Core Platform is a clean-room JVM and supporting technologies that comply with JDK (Java Development Kit) A Java software development environment from Sun. It includes the JVM, compiler, debugger and other tools for developing Java applets and applications. Each new version of the JDK adds features and enhancements to the language. 1.3 specifications while providing the freedom and flexibility needed to make Java work for complex embedded systems. PERC brings the advantages of Java as well as the high reliability of legacy languages to demanding and robust embedded products in fields such as network infrastructure, telematics and industrial automation. PERC customers include Nortel Networks (Nortel Networks Limited, Brampton, Ontario, www.nortelnetworks.com) A world leader in telecommunications products, which includes switching, wireless and broadband systems for service providers and carriers, telephones and systems for residential and business users, computer telephony , Qualcomm and Parker Hannifin Parker Hannifin Corporation (originally Parker Appliance Company) NYSE: PH, of Cleveland, Ohio, is a manufacturer of motion and control technologies.
