Dalvik Turbo virtual machine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dalvik Turbo was created as a proprietary compatibility layer alternative to Google's implementation of the Dalvik virtual machine that runs on the Android operating system and other platforms.[1] It was originally developed by French/Swiss firm Myriad Group.[2][3] Dalvik Turbo has an alternative version which runs on non-Android platforms, Sailfish OS, which is known as Alien Dalvik.[4]

The virtual machine runs the Java platform on compatible mobile devices, and it can also run applications which have been converted into a compact Dalvik Executable (.dex) bytecode format for lower end devices.
In 2011, MIPS 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.[5]
