Abstract
Our objective is to adapt the Java garbage collection to an embedded system, e. g., wireless PDA executing multimedia applications. We consider the concurrent execution of several applications within a single JVM, giving an approach to divide/share the memory among the applications executing concurrently in the system. Since a multimedia application is supported by several tasks, some of them being response time limited, while others being high performance oriented, we must consider the real-time characteristics of the GC. In order to have a different GC per application, we introduce and define application-specific memory, building upon the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ) from the Real-Time Java Expert Group.
