ARM enters multi-year agreement with Oracle for Java

ARM (ARMH) announced it has entered into a multi-year agreement with Oracle (ORCL) to further optimize the existing Java Platform, Standard Edition for ARM 32-bit platforms and to add Java SE support for ARMv8 64-bit platforms. This agreement will focus on delivering throughput and efficient scalability for ARM-based multi-core systems, the company said. ARM added, "This agreement reflects the increasing applicability of the combination of ARM and Oracle technology in server and network infrastructure. It also benefits emerging applications in the machine-to-machine, or M2M, market, such as industrial control, factory automation and single-board computers, where energy-efficient ARM technology is increasingly being deployed."
