Lars Bak received the MS degree in computer science from Aarhus University in 1988. As one of the founders of Mj�lner Informatics, he participated in the design and implementation of the Beta Mj�lner System. In 1991, he joined the Self group at Sun Microsystems Laboratories. Lars Bak was the technical lead of the HotSpot VM and is still involved with virtual machines for the Java Platform. since 1993.

The Need for Speed in Mobile Devices

Abstract
As Java becomes the preferred software platform for developing mobile applications, it is paramount that the underlying Java implementation offers high performance yet low memory consumption. Monty, a new project at Sun Microsystems, Inc., was formed to develop Java virtual machine technology to solve this challenge.

This presentation previews the Monty technology that focuses on high performance, low memory footprint, and hence low battery consumption. Several novel techniques are used to achieve this. A new object layout along with unified resource management ensure that the memory footprint stays minimal. An optimized interpreter and adaptive compiler provide high performance without compromising memory usage. The technology is compatible with the Connected, Limited Device Configuration Specification (CLDC).
