Dalvik Turbo is a proprietary alternative to Google's implementation of the Dalvik virtual machine that runs on the Android operating system and other platforms.[1] It is developed by French/Swiss firm Myriad Group.[2]
The virtual machine runs the Java platform on compatible mobile devices.
It runs applications which have been converted into a compact Dalvik Executable (.dex) format suitable for systems that are constrained in terms of memory and processor speed.
MIPS Technologies/Imagination Technologies entered into a license agreement with Myriad to make their Dalvik Turbo Virtual Machine (VM) available to its licensees as part of its standard distribution of Android for its MIPS architecture.[3]
Performance
Myriad claims applications run in Dalvik Turbo "up to three times" faster, all while reducing battery drain and giving developers the power they need to create graphically intense games.[4]
Dalvik Turbo has been shown on video to be 2.8 times faster while running a benchmark test.[5]
Compatibility
Dalvik Turbo is built to be backwards compatible with the original Dalvik virtual machine made by Google.
