17 August 2010 – Myriad Group, a global leader in mobile technology with software in over 2 billion phones, has been picked Editor’s Choice in Embedded Computing Design Magazine for its Dalvik Turbo virtual machine (VM). Myriad’s Dalvik Turbo VM replaces the standard Android Dalvik engine, accelerating performance up to 5x on real-world Android™ applications running on MIPS-Based™ devices.
“The Dalvik Virtual Machine for Android is a good example of embedded software that can be optimized for a specific core, and the recent announcement from MIPS and Myriad Group illustrates just how much potential optimization can bring,” writes Don Dingee, Editorial Director for Embedded Computing Design.
Under a recent partnership with MIPS Technologies, Inc. a leading provider of industry-standard processor architectures and cores for digital consumers, Myriad has created the high-performance full method-based Dalvik Turbo VM to be optimized for the MIPS® architecture. With Dalvik Turbo VM, MIPS licensees can create SoCs with faster, more complex applications and richer game graphics optimized for Android smartphones and other high-performance consumer devices without requiring significant increases in device memory.
Myriad’s Dalvik Turbo VM was featured in Embedded Computing Design Magazine’s June 2010 issue. The top industry magazine features the latest embedded computing technologies for devices in mobile, home, industrial and medical markets.
