Abstract
A method and apparatus for supporting a host computer system in executing a JAVA computer program. An auxiliary system, including multiple non-host processors, coupled to a non-host memory, via a bus to the host computer system, interfaces with a JAVA Virtual Machine (JVM) to execute one or more threads of the JAVA computer program. The JVM can be instantiated in the non-host memory. The JVM performs allocation of an additional non-host processor for interfacing with the JVM to execute the new thread. The auxiliary system need not be a permanent part of the host computer system. In one embodiment the auxiliary system is coupled to the host computer system to run JAVA programs. The auxiliary system can be detached from the host computer system or can be implemented as a permanent part of the host computer system.
