When considering a benchmark to determine the overall performance of a Java application, the impact of byte code execution, graphics and native code execution varies depending on the nature of the ...

Speaking at the Hot Chips Conference, HSA Foundation president Phil Rogers has provided more details on plans to bring GPU acceleration to Java in time for Java 9 in 2015.

Direct execution of Java byte code is possible thanks to a Java extension to the ARM processor core by ARM Ltd., Cambridge, England. Known as Jazelle, the new Java acceleration feature initially ...

Java was designed to run in its own environment, with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to manage application resources during execution. The JVM is how Java achieves portability – Java applications are ...

With Java 9, support for parallel execution on HSA-compatible processors will be native, Rogers said in an interview following the presentation.

Similarly, software exceptions will exit the Java execution state and start executing a native code-exception handler. Using minimal power, the Java support requires only an additional 12 kgates.

A serious vulnerability in a popular Java library puts thousands of Java applications and servers at risk of remote code execution attacks.

A new zero-day vulnerability in the Spring Core Java framework called 'Spring4Shell' has been publicly disclosed, allowing unauthenticated remote code execution on applications.

Researchers have released technical details and attack code for 30 security issues affecting Oracle's Java Cloud Service. Some of the issues make it possible for attackers to read or modify users ...
