  • JVM system scope initializer
    Patent number: 8261263
    Abstract: In an embodiment of the present invention the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) System Scope Initializer works on the premise of generating one JVM instance to be used by all processes system wide. An advantage in the present invention is that all processes that would normally otherwise have to instantiate a JVM, which can be on the order of millions of instructions (per process) can in large part be avoided realizing instead a tremendous system resource savings system wide. Another advantage can be that all processes that would normally otherwise have to instantiate a JVM, which can have a memory footprint on the order of megabytes (per process), can share the same memory view again realizing tremendous system resource savings system wide.
