• Jazelle DBX and ARM926EJ-S ~~> Pantilope

    Hi,

    Back in the early days SUN was already talking
    about Java on in CPU. Interestingly this happened:

    The most prominent use of Jazelle DBX is by
    manufacturers of mobile phones to increase the
    execution speed of Java ME games and applications.
    A Jazelle-aware Java virtual machine (JVM) will
    attempt to run Java bytecode in hardware, while
    returning to the software for more complicated,
    or lesser-used bytecode operations. ARM claims that
    approximately 95% of bytecode in typical program
    usage ends up being directly processed in the hardware. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazelle

    So in the 90's we had first internet, and then
    in the 00's we had mobile phones. The 10's had
    big data and early deep leearning.

    But Python is still slow as fuck in the 20's.
    They should invent a CPU that can do Pantilope,
    i.e. direct executon of Python.

    Bye
