Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies lack efficient methods to accelerate the execution of non-Java bytecodes and to identify and execute the proper Java method in response to notifications generated by events in programming environments similar to Java.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that utilizes a Java Stack Machine (JSM) with a complementary instruction set architecture (C-ISA) to execute Java bytecodes efficiently, and a notification mechanism that raises notifications based on events, identifies the relevant class loader, and invokes the appropriate method using an identification value.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If Java bytecodes are directly executed on a processor, then execution speed is improved, but the system cannot efficiently execute non-Java bytecodes or other programming languages

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexecution speedVSAvoidlanguage compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The processor is divided into two distinct execution paths: a Java bytecode execution path with direct hardware support for high performance, and a general-purpose instruction path for executing non-Java bytecodes and other languages. This segmentation allows each path to be optimized for its specific purpose while maintaining overall system versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The processor implements multi-functionality by incorporating both a Java virtual machine engine for direct bytecode execution and a general-purpose instruction set architecture. The system can dynamically switch between executing Java bytecodes with hardware acceleration and executing other languages through software interpretation, making it universally capable of handling multiple programming paradigms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If a general purpose processor is paired with Java bytecode execution, then language versatility is improved, but execution speed of Java code decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelanguage supportVSAvoidJava bytecode execution speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The Java virtual machine engine acts as an intermediary layer between the general-purpose processor and Java bytecode execution. This mediator provides hardware-accelerated bytecode interpretation while maintaining compatibility with the general-purpose architecture, enabling fast Java execution without sacrificing the ability to run other languages through the same processor.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The processor dynamically adapts its execution mode based on the type of code being executed. When Java bytecode is detected, the system switches to the optimized bytecode execution path with hardware acceleration. When non-Java code is encountered, it transitions to the general-purpose instruction path, optimizing performance for each language type in real-time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If events trigger method notifications in Java, then program responsiveness is improved, but identifying and invoking the correct method becomes complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprogram responsivenessVSAvoidmethod identification complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The notification mechanism employs self-service through automatic method identification using unique identification values associated with each event. When an event occurs, the system automatically retrieves the corresponding method identifier and invokes the appropriate listener method without requiring complex manual lookup or resolution logic, simplifying the event-handling process while maintaining responsiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback through a structured notification mechanism where events carry identification values that directly reference their corresponding handler methods. This feedback loop ensures that the correct method is automatically invoked in response to each event, reducing complexity by establishing a direct mapping between events and their handlers through standardized identification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
