Wie der Planet 64Bitvermeldet, hat Sun Microsystems damit begonnen die Java Technologie auf AMDs 64-Bit Plattform zu portieren. Allerdings ist erst im Sommer 2004 mit einer finalen Version für Linux und Windows zu rechnen.
SAN FRANCISCO -- LinuxWorld Conference & Expo -- August 5, 2003 -- Sun Microsystems, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNW) today announced it has teamed with AMD to provide native Java technology support for the 64-bit AMD Opteron processor. By supporting the 64-bit Linux and Windows platforms on the AMD Opteron processor, Sun is allowing companies to migrate their current Java applications from a 32-bit to 64-bit computing platform with little or no changes to the code, as well as enabling the development and deployment of new Java applications and Web services. Sun expects to make the 64-bit Linux and Windows ports to AMD Opteron available with the release of the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) v 1.5 in summer of 2004. Blackdown, a J2SE licensee, also contributed technology to the development of these ports.
"By partnering with AMD to create a 64-bit J2SE software port for AMD Opteron, Sun is able to extend Java's reach to a larger market and provide a reliable and highly performant platform for Java application and Web services deployment," said Joe Keller, vice president of marketing for Java Web Services at Sun Microsystems. "We're committed to ensuring that customers have the greatest flexibility and can reap the maximum value from their current Java technology-based applications when transitioning to 64-bit computing."
