LavaCORE/sup /spl trade// configurable Java/spl trade/ processor core

LavaCORE is a configurable Java processor core designed to support a variety of embedded Java applications. The technology will allow for greater flexibility and security for all space missions. The core technology behind LavaCORE will increase performance, security and flexibility due to its reconfigurable capability. It is ideally suited for embedded applications and to polymorphous computing architecture initiatives. This technology can be a building block for a new class of computing architectures and processing systems that will result in a revolutionary approach to implementing embedded computing systems to support reactive multimission, multi-sensor, and in-mission retargetable applications. LavaCORE will have the ability to morph to match changing mission and scenario demands. This will enable software implementation and malleable hardware optimization to be pursued in a cooperative constraint sensitive environment instead of in a limiting hardware first and software last paradigm. The resulting embedded computing system will enable optimization across a broad range of applications and the ability to react to dynamic mission requirements.
