The VizzAnalyzer is a powerful software analysis tool. It is able to extract information from various software representations like source code  but also other specifications like UML. The extracted information is input to static analysis of these software projects. One programming language the VizzAnalyzer can extract information from is Java source code. Analyzing the source code is sufficient for most of the analysis. But, sometimes it is necessary to analyze compiled classes either because the program is only available in byte-code, or the scope of analysis includes libraries that exist usually in binary form. Thus, being able to extract information from Java byte-code is paramount for the extension of some analyses, e.g., studying the dependecy structure of a project and the libraries it uses. Currently, the VizzAnalyzer does not feature information extraction from Java byte-code. To allow, e.g., the analysis of the project dependency structure, we extend the VizzAnalyzer tool with a bytecode front-end that will allow the extraction of information from Java bytecode. This thesis describes the design and implementation of the bytecode front-end. After we implemented and integrated the new front-end with the VizzAnalyzer, we are now able to perform new analyses that work on data extracted from both, source- and bytecode.

Die Java-Plattform bietet viele Vorteile für die schnelle Entwicklung komplexer Software. Für die Ausführung des Java-Bytecodes auf eingebetteten Systemen eignen sich insbesondere Java-(Bytecode)-Prozessoren, die den Java-Bytecode als nativen Befehlssatz unterstützen. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht detailliert die Gestaltung einer Mehrkernarchitektur für Java-Prozessoren zur effizienten Nutzung der auf Thread-Ebene ohnehin vorhandenen Parallelität eines Java-Programms. Für die Funktionalitäts- und Leistungsbewertung eines Prototyps wird eine eigene Trace-Architektur eingesetzt. Es wird eine hohe Leistungssteigerung bei nur geringem zusätzlichem Hardwareaufwand erzielt sowie eine höhere Leistung als bekannte alternative Ansätze erreicht.
