Abstract

This paper introduces a Java execution environment with the capability for storing constant heap data in Flash, thus saving valuable RAM. The extension is motivated by the structure of three industrial applications which demonstrate the need for storing constant data in Flash on small embedded devices.

The paper introduces the concept of host initialization of constant data to prepare a Flash image of constant data that can be kept outside the heap during runtime.

The concept is implemented in an interpreter based Java execution environment.

Flash memory in embedded Java programs

Recommendations

Next high performance and low power flash memory package structure

In general, NAND flash memory has advantages in low power consumption, storage capacity, and fast erase/write performance in contrast to NOR flash. But, main drawback of the NAND flash memory is the slow access time for random read operations. Therefore,...
NAND flash memory system based on the Harvard buffer architecture for multimedia applications

The main purpose of this research is to design a new memory architecture for NAND flash memory to provide XIP (execute in place) for code execution as well as overcome the biggest bottleneck for data execution. NOR flash for multimedia application is ...
Performance Trade-Offs in Using NVRAM Write Buffer for Flash Memory-Based Storage Devices

While NAND flash memory is used in a variety of end-user devices, it has a few disadvantages, such as asymmetric speed of read and write operations, inability to in-place updates, among others. To overcome these problems, various flash-aware strategies ...
