Support of Java API for the jHISC system

ABSTRACT

This paper presents the evolution and improvement of the Java API (Application Programming Interface) for Java which used in jHISC Runtime Environment. The jHISC Running Environment is an object-based, single addressing execution environment, specially designed for running object-oriented programming languages such as Java. The jHISC core is a HISC-architecture processor created for executing Java programs. The jHISC API is designed for object-oriented systems to support object model inside jHISC. The jHISC API includes elemental objects such as jhisc.Object, jhisc.Integer and few redesigned objects such as jhisc.util. Vector, jhisc.util. Hashtable. The jHISC API is developed in order to take advantage of using jHISC core and provides a hardware support delegate function in the system.
