Abstract
A hardware virtual machine instruction processor directly executes virtual machine instructions that are processor architecture independent. The hardware processor has high performance; is low cost; and exhibits low power consumption. The hardware processor is well suited for portable applications. These applications include, for example, an Internet chip for network appliances, a cellular telephone processor, other telecommunications integrated circuits, or other low-power, low-cost applications such as embedded processors, and portable devices.
