• Real time virtual JVM from Aonix, SMP machine has limited real-time capability
• Virtual Machine and multicore system thread at sun.com

"Nope. The next big step in compilers and virtual machines is exactly what you would like to have now: transparent usage of multiple cores/cpus for an application without explicitaly writing your app with multiple threads. If you app is just 1 servlet with just 1 thread - how should it be distributed among multiple cpus?"

Possible Project

• Scheduler to run on JVM which will automatically manage threads to run java representation of streaming code on multicore
