JavaScript accelerator would probably half the power consumption of the world.
The problem is just, that as soon as it would have widespread usage it would probably already be too old.
Reminiscent of the Java CPUs: Not even used for embedded (ironically the reason Java was created?). And not used at all by the massive Java compute needed for corporate software worldwide?
Basically, every single credit card sized security chip (including actual credit cards, of course) is a small processor running Java applets. Pretty much everyone has one or more in their wallet. I'd assume those were actual Java CPUs directly executing bytecode?
Not sure: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_processor doesn't seem to mention any in current use. I am ignorant of the actual correct answer: I had simply presumed it is simpler to write the virtual machine using a commercial ISA than to develop a custom ISA.
Java Card bytecode run by the Java Card Virtual Machine is a functional subset of Java 2 bytecode run by a standard Java Virtual Machine but with a different encoding to optimize for size.
Yeah the https://developer.arm.com/documentation/dui0801/h/A64-Floati... but a full jit helper that is generalized is way way harder and as said will take a long time tobe generally available. Just look at wasmgc and that only has the minimum denominator.
