Introduction
Main Issue of
Java mobile/wireless computing
• Many application demands more memory
• Mobile/wireless devices suffer from their
small memory
Introduction
Related work
1. Java classfile compression
[Pugh’99]
(small file, but the same info. as of a Jar file: eliminate redundancy)
2. Java bytecode factorization
[Clausen et al.’00]
(extended instruction set, macro instruction definitions from CAP file)
-- bytecode instructions, replace common instruction sequences
3. Java compact bytecode instructions
[Evans and Fraser’01]
(grammar based method, G a parse tree  derivation of the program)
-- compression demands a minimum length derivation of the program
4. Java on-the-fly constant pool compaction [Rippert et al. ’04]
(class loading, eliminate constant pool entry if not referenced)
5. Java profile-driven code unloading
[Zhang and Krintz ’04]
(JIT, unloading methods “has-not-been-used recently)
6. Java heap memory compression
[Lo and KATO ’03], [Chen et al. ’03], [KATO and Lo ’04]
The proposed architecture consists of:
Java Virtual Machine (JVM) core
Memory management module
Cache unit Delayed buffer
Delayed buffer is full?
Address Lookaside buffer
Compressing unit
Decompressing unit
Local object accessed
(compressed form)
Compressed heap
ALB table
accessed
stored
Store compressed block
The Proposed Architecture
Goals
1. Reduce memory demands
2. Allow large client applications to run on
mobile/wireless embedded devices
3. Minimize the number of active memory
banks, and power off unused banks to
eliminate the leakage current in memory
system
Features
The hardware de/compression engines are
integrated into Java virtual machine
(software) to de/compress a group (a page)
of local and remote objects during Java
execution.

The Proposed Architecture
Assumptions
1. Object is created either locally or remotely
2. Objects that come over the Internet have
been compressed at the sending side
3. Objects that newly created inside the JVM
are not compressed.

The Proposed Architecture
Garbage collection
• Java memory management system
– Garbage collection mechanism
• Mark, sweep, compaction phases
• We redesigned it to handle compressed
objects
– Mark, similar to the original version
– Sweep and compaction phases
• Migrated into de/compression modules
• Delayed until de/compression is invoked
The Proposed Architecture
Garbage collection mechanism
From the caching unit
The Proposed Architecture
In-memory compression algorithms
• Popular compression algorithm LZ family
– Designed for human text
– Not suitable for data in memory/cache because of its
regularity modeling
• Most in-memory/cache data
– Word aligned integers and pointers
– Contains many repeating zero values
• We use Wilson-Kaplan (WK) compression family
– A dictionary-based algorithm
