Stack Allocation-based Memory Performance Improvement Technique on Android 2.3 Dalvik Virtual Machine

Analysis on Process Code schedule of Android Dalvik Virtual Machine

Dalvik virtual machine’s performance determines the performance of the Android platform. And each Dalvik virtual machine process is a Linux process, and each Dalvik virtual machine thread is a Linux thread. This paper analyses and researches process model of Android Dalvik virtual machine. Through research and analysis the role of Zygote in startup process of Dalvik virtual machine and the Zygo...

Mandatory Access Control for the Android Dalvik Virtual Machine

With the growing use of smartphones and other mobile devices, it becomes essential to be able to assure the user that his system and applications are doing exactly what they are supposed to do. Over the years and despite its configuration complexity, Mandatory Access Control has proven its efficiency in protecting systems. This paper proposes a solution providing a generic protection that doesn...

Application Performance Profiling in Android Dalvik Virtual Machines

SUMMARY Most Android applications are written in JAVA and run on a Dalvik virtual machine. For smartphone vendors and users who wish to know the performance of an application on a particular smartphone but cannot obtain the source code, we propose a new technique, Dalvik Pro-filer for Applications (DPA), to profile an Android application on a Dalvik virtual machine without the support of source...

Memory allocation method in stack

This paper explores the calling convention of popular compilers by analyzing the simple source codes of demonstration and provides simple and efficient solutions to iron issues out when SSEx instruction set is adopted in applications. It is very worth referring to its thought for migrating Unix/Linux applications to Microsoft Windows platform.
