Just to let you know that IBM Research has just released the Jikes Research Virtual Machine (RVM) on developerworks: http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/projects/jikesrvm The RVM is designed to execute Java programs that are typically used in research on fundamental virtual machine design issues. It will provide academic and research communities with a flexible testbed to prototype new virtual machine technologies and experiment with different design alternatives. It runs on the AIX/PowerPC, Linux/PowerPC, and Linux/IA-32 platforms, and exhibits industry-strength performance for many benchmark programs on the first two of these platforms. The Jikes RVM includes the latest VM technologies for dynamic compilation, adaptive optimization, garbage collection, thread scheduling, and synchronization. The Jikes RVM is implemented in the Java programming language. It was originally hoped to release the project using the name "Jalapeno" that was internally used during its development. However, it turns out some company has a claim on this name, so we decided to use "Jikes", as we have done before for projects from the Software Technology department here at IBM Research. The project has no direct link to the Jikes Compiler Project other than requiring the Jikes compiler for its compilation. Indeed, this is the reason Jikes supports the the "+K" option. dave |
