Ajile Intros New System-On-Chip Processor

aJile Systems recently demonstrated its newest Java processor, aJ-102 at the Embedded World Conference in Nuremberg, Germany. The company was founded by the developers of the world’s first direct-execution Java technology microprocessor. 

Custom-made for real-time, remote applications, the aJ-102 is a complete SoC (system-on-chip) processor, and has been designed to add intelligence to next-generation smart infrastructure deployments, industrial processing applications and M2M (machine-to-machine) networks. 

The family of aJile Java processors perform Java direct-executions unlike traditional CPU's that use an interpreter or JIT software layers to run Java code.

ARM, Intel and other processors require translation of Java programs into a second machine language and consume more time and power.

The aJ-102 has a RTOS (real-time operating system) developed entirely using Java and cuts the need for third-party software integration or licensing expense.  

Using Java as its native language, the aJ-102 provides a cost-effective solution for edge controllers, intelligent remote sensors and M2M deployments. Secure, re-usable software developed exclusively in Java can be created by Application developers for multiple platform usage across the enterprise.

 

The aJ-102 is developed using 180-nanometer CMOS process and is markedly better than previous processors as it reduces the total system BOM (bill-of-material) by as much as 40 percent.

“The demand for networked SoC processors is being driven by the convergence of two powerful forces, the accelerating ubiquity of 2.5G, 3G, LAN, and 802.11 networks, coupled with the growing desire for built-in intelligence as society makes multi-billion dollar investments in smart infrastructure,” said Danh Le Ngoc, founder and Vice President of marketing of aJile Systems.
