Dalvik Turbo is 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] developed by French/Swiss firm Myriad Group.[2][3] The version running on other platforms like Sailfish OS 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.

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]

## Performance

Myriad claims applications run in Dalvik Turbo "up to three times" faster, while reducing battery drain and giving developers the power they need to create graphically intense games.[6]

Dalvik Turbo has been shown on video to be 2.8 times faster while running a benchmark test.[7]
