{{Short description|Processor using Java bytecode as its instruction set}}

A '''Java processor''' is the implementation of the [[Java virtual machine]] (JVM) in hardware. In other words, the [[Java bytecode]] that makes up the instruction set of the abstract machine becomes the instruction set of a concrete machine. These were the most popular form of a [[high-level language computer architecture]], and were "an attractive choice for building embedded and real-time systems that are programmed in Java.".<ref name=Binder>{{cite book |last1=Binder |first1=Walter |last2=Schoeberl |first2=Martin |last3=Moret |first3=Philippe |last4=Villazon |first4=Alex |title=2008 Fifth International Conference on Quantitative Evaluation of Systems |chapter=Cross-Profiling for Embedded Java Processors |date=September 2008 |pages=287–296 |doi=10.1109/QEST.2008.39|isbn=978-0-7695-3360-5 |s2cid=16966639 }}</ref> However, as of 2017, embedded Java is no longer common and no realtime Java chip vendors exist.<ref>{{cite web |title=Systronix Home |url=http://www.systronix.com/ |website=www.systronix.com |access-date=6 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170818062055/http://www.systronix.com/ |archive-date=18 August 2017}}</ref>
