I've been thinking about the possibility of running JOS on a Java processor.
Being able to run Java on a Java processor (i.e. achieving the speed of
native code) is kind of like ultimate goal of Java as far as I'm concerned.
By questions is, to those who know more about this than me (I'm a total
newbie when it comes to CPUs and kernel/JVM writing), could the kernel
interface(s) and jvm(s) currently being worked on be used on a Java
processor without *too* much trouble, or would that require a complete
reswrite/redesign of the entire system?
I.e., is the design of the JOS kernel(s)/JVM(s) currently suited for
execution on Java processors?
Or maybe I'm the only one who'd like to see Java processors on the
desktop?!? :)
