MIPS chooses alternative Java VM for Android distribution
Myriad’s Dalvik Turbo is a high-performance full method-based VM that replaces the standard Android Dalvik engine, accelerating performance up to 5x on real-world Android applications. MIPS Technologies and Myriad announced last year that Dalvik Turbo had been optimized for the MIPS architecture.
Through this strategic agreement, MIPS Technologies and Myriad Group plan to work together to support the Dalvik Turbo VM on current and future versions of the Android platform. The agreement also includes continued support for MIPS architectural features such as multi-threading and multiprocessing. Myriad will provide optimized support for the MIPS architecture on its other products for Java and Android in the future.
It is anticipated that with Myriad’s Dalvik Turbo VM, MIPS licensees can create SoCs with faster, more complex applications and richer game graphics optimized for Android smartphones and other high-performance consumer devices without requiring significant increases in device memory. The VM is also said to provide substantial battery life improvements when running resource intensive tasks, all while retaining full compatibility with existing software.
