Processor using Java bytecode as its instruction set
AJava processor is the implementation of theJava virtual machine (JVM) in hardware. In other words, theJava bytecode that makes up the instruction set of the abstract machine becomes the instruction set of a concrete machine. These were the most popular form of ahigh-level language computer architecture, and were "an attractive choice for building embedded and real-time systems that are programmed in Java".[1] However, as of 2017, embedded Java is no longer common and no realtime Java chip vendors exist.[2]
