How many KVMs?

The article talks about "the KVM" as if there is only one KVM but also about "a KVM" which "may not" support floating-point, as if there is many possible KVMs. Which is it? -- pne (talk) 12:19, 16 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

There is only one KVM (Kilobyte Virtual Machine.)

It is related to J2ME and hardware performing java functions in place of software is part of the differance On small embedded devices floating point and other sophisticated libraries are often unaffordable luxuries.

From the description pdf at Orical [1]

The “K” in KVM stands for “kilo.” It was so named because its memory budget is measured in kilobytes (whereas desktop systems are measured in megabytes). KVM is suitable for 16/ 32-bit RISC/ CISC microprocessors with a total memory budget of no more than a few hundred kilobytes (potentially less than 128 kilobytes). This typically applies to digital cellular phones, pagers, personal organizers, and small retail payment terminals. Scottprovost (talk) 16:47, 7 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
