Lisle, Ill. – NewMonics Inc. launched version 3.2.1 of PERC becomeing the first embedded JVM to provide enterprise-class profiling. The release also extends support of leading RTOSs, introduces new support for debugging, and offers reduced start-up time and footprint.

Profiling is considered a significant breakthrough by engineers using Java to create their embedded products in that it helps optimize system performance by quickly pinpointing and resolving memory leaks and performance bottlenecks and ultimately speeds time to market. The advancement is the result of a NewMonics’ agreement to port for re-sale Optimizeit Profiler.
