JOPJava Optimized Processor DI Martin Schöberl
Content • Targets • Java Virtal Machine • Three different architectures • Datapath of JOP3 • First results
Targets • Small processor • Fits in a main stram FPGA • Efficient execution of byte codes • JVM real time enabled • organization of local memory ? • Multi processor on a single chip ?
Java Virtual Machine • 32 (64) Bit stack machine • Variable length instructions • Simple to very complex instructions • Symbolic references • Stack, heap, constants and code
First Approach • Accu/Register Machine • RISC like instruction set • 16 Bit instruction set • 32 Bit datapath • 3 stage pipeline • All instructions single cycle • Larg register file (up to 1024) • JVM complete in SW
Second Approach • + special register SP, AR • 16 register + 16 constants • Stack in local memory • 8 Bit instruction • Memory interface ‚extern‘ • Byte code fetch/decode in HW • 2+3 stage pipeline • JVM instruction min. 3 cycles
JOP3 • Stack machine • Byte code is instruction set • 8 Bit microcode • Basic JVM instructions single cycle • 4 stage pipeline • No traps for complex instructions

Status • Cores run on Altera ACEX 1K30-3 • Periphery: IO port, SRAM- and Flash interface, UART, ECP • First real application under development
Performance • ‚useless‘ benchmark (prime) • 486SX25: 1.2M transistors e.g. 300k gates • ACEX 1K30: 24 MHz, 30k gates
