We present a runtime environment that implements a Java Virtual Machine by co-execution between the different functional units of the heterogeneous Cell multiprocessing platform. Our approach uses the Cell’s scratchpad memory as a software-controlled cache and contains an automatic software-based memory management system for instruction and data caching. Profiling shows a cache hit rate of above 90 % for the instruction cache and above 74 % for the data cache.
