Abstract
Java programs are becoming increasingly prevalent on numerous platforms ranging from embedded systems to high-end servers. Dynamic translation (interpretation and compilation), frequent calls to native interface libraries or operating system kernel services and abundant usage of virtual methods by Java programs can complicate the intrinsic predictability of the control flows that can be exploited by an ILP machine. An in-depth look and understanding of the implications on the underlying microarchitecture can either guide architects to design efficient Java processors or finely tune the performance of a Java run time system on general purpose, wide issue machines.
