Jikes RVM

Hey Eric,

I started pushes some of my changes to the soc2011 repo

So far in the repo I have pushed a multi threaded
SortCommutativeRegisterUses seen in Simple.java.  It is still in a version 0
stage and needs a little more kick in the performance department.

Ian Rogers gave me some feed back on my code and if he is reading this Thank
you

Also if your interested in my project and my blog posts are not clear please
speak up and I will kindly elaborate and share my results.

Cheers,

Michael

I do not have any complaints but I have a suggestion: I noticed that the 
pages of some accepted GSoC projects at google-melange.com, e.g. 
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2011/mgorny/27001 
, have a blog feed. You could add such a blog feed for your project if 
that does not need too much effort.

Kind regards,

Erik Brangs

I've just posted a news item about the projects. We have four this year (see the news item for details). We have asked the students to establish a branch in the soc2011 repository asap.

GSoC program promote open development. Students are supposed to post their
project ideas, implementation methologies, progress updates etc.. on regular
basis on public maling lists, irc channels etc..

Hi,

I am not a Jikes RVM team member, so take everything I say with a grain 
of salt.

The class probably no longer exists because the Jikes RVM switched from 
green-threading to native threading in 3.1.0. AFAIK support for green 
threading was dropped completely.

Kind regards,

Erik Brangs

Eric is correct.   With the move to green threads, there is no longer an instance from which user threads are multiplexed.   Rather, there is an instance for _every_ user thread.   Consequently the concept of "processor" has disappeared.    The eis register points to an instance of RVM_Thread.

Ok, that makes sense according to the specification of the method
getESIAsThread() from the class Magic.

Thanks Eric and Steve

Thanks Erik.  I believe you are correct.

Now that the conversion to hg is complete, I should be able to process a
few other pending patches from you too (eg RVM-813).
