In this paper we analyzed performance of Andriod's Davik virtual machine(VM) using standard benchmark and compared the result with the embedded Java virtual machine. We used a well known benchmark suit named SPECJVM for the measurement. For the fair comparison, Sun Java embedded JVM is ported and the same benchmark is ported on it. The Odriod smartphone hardware platform is used as the target hardware. We have added a Just-In-Time compiler to Dalvik, which is not supported in the recent Android release, and measured performance improvement. The experiment result show that Dalvik achieved 15% and Dalvik with JIT shows 63% of the Sun's JVM performance.
