I read book, in that, It is given that, JVM can be implemented on software-based operating system or on silicon chips (java-based-operating system)?

There are some efforts to write an operating system (almost) entirely in Java: JOS, JNode. None of those really took off as a serious operating system.

There have also been attempts at making CPUs that could directly execute Java bytecode as their native instruction set - see Java processor in Wikipedia for a few links. Those also haven't been very succesful.

A Java-based OS is an OS written entirely, or mostly, in Java.

Sun had one too: JavaOS.
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
