FastJVM
FastJVM is developing a high-performance JVM that already outperforms HotSpot and GraalVM on certain workloads, using patented technology for generating compilable machine code from dynamic language code and for automatic code parallelization. The company's next step is to expand from these specialized workloads into a general-purpose JVM that can serve as a drop-in replacement for existing implementations. FastJVM also offers tooling for Android obfuscation.

Problem
Traditional JVM implementations such as HotSpot and GraalVM have performance limitations on certain workloads, particularly those involving dynamic language features or parallel execution. Developers seeking maximum runtime performance for specialized applications must often resort to native code or alternative runtimes, increasing complexity and reducing portability.
Solution
FastJVM is building a high-performance JVM that already outperforms HotSpot and GraalVM on some workloads by a significant margin. The company's approach leverages patented technology for generating compilable machine code from dynamic language code, enabling more efficient execution paths. Additional patented work in automatic code parallelization allows the JVM to exploit multi-core architectures more effectively. The company's next step is to expand from these specialized workloads into a general-purpose JVM that can serve as a drop-in replacement for existing implementations.
Target Audience
Primary customers are developers and enterprises running performance-sensitive JVM workloads, particularly those using dynamic languages or requiring high levels of parallelism, as well as Android developers seeking obfuscation tooling.
