Abstract
In some embodiments, a storage medium comprises application software that performs one or more operations and that directly manages a device. The application software comprises instructions that initialize an application data structure (e.g., an object or array) usable by the application software to manage the device and also comprises instructions that map the application data structure to a memory associated with the device without the use of a device driver. In other embodiments, a method comprises initializing an application data structure to manage a hardware device and mapping the application data structure to a memory associated with the hardware device without the use of a device driver. The application data structure may store a single dimensional data structure or a multi-dimensional data structure. In some embodiments, the device being managed by the application software may comprise a display and the application software may comprise Java code.
