Abstract
A method, system and apparatus for preserving platform independence of a program while supporting native accelerators for performance critical program objects. In a method for preserving platform independence of a program while supporting native accelerators for performance critical program objects, the method can include identifying a reference to a program object in a platform independent computer program and determining if a platform specific implementation of the program object has been separately stored in addition to a platform independent implementation of the program object. If it can be determined that a platform specific implementation of the program object has been separately stored in addition to a platform independent implementation of the program object, the platform specific implementation of the program object can be loaded in lieu of the platform independent implementation.
