Posted by kdawson on from the sixty-fps-here-we-come dept.

Precision writes to inform us about the Swiss firm Myriad, which claims a 3x boost in Android app performance and longer battery life with a new virtual machine. Myriad says that its technology is 100% compatible with existing Android apps. "The tool is a replacement for the Dalvik virtual machine, which ships as part of the Android platform, and retains full compatibility with existing software. Dalvik Turbo also supports a range of processors including those based on ARM, Intel Atom, and MIPS Architectures."

    Back in my day, manufacturers used to slap a turbo button on the front of the case.
    And we liked it that way.
    Now get off my lawn!

    Myriad's press release just sounds like Chuck Norris decided to dabble in software development

    No, he gave Dalvik a roundhouse kick to the garbage collector.

    The higher the technology, the sharper that two-edged sword.
