Code Arrangement of Embedded Java Virtual Machine for NAND Flash Memory 383
is 0.6%. As compare with 3.2% from the original KVM, this is a significant
improvement. Yes, if the cache is big, miss rate will not be an issue. However, our
approach can ensure that the KVM generates lower misses at marginal conditions.
This technique also enables SOC to integrate a small block of embedded SRAM as
cache and still execute the KVM fast.
Virtual machine is a special kind of software. Their common practice is to have an
interpreter with a wide span of instruction handlers. Therefore, the execution flow is
determined by applications running on top of virtual machines. As a result, our tuning
process should apply to other interpreters or virtual machines besides KVM.
