I thought this was still in the works.
Although the java JPU at last revision would reside on a
PCI-X card much like a graphics card and perform bytecode
conversion to native ML in hardware.

Of course this can be achieved by compiling a JVM onto
an programmable gate array (HINT: 'Altera' is a good choice),
and putting that on a PCI card.

Could someone make one of those for me? PLEEEESE :) :) :)
