64-bit Excelsior JET at the Halfway Point
At large, any modern JVM is a suite of compilers and/or interperters that, in co-operation with the run-time system, provide:
- Threading and synchronization
- Object allocation
- Call stack scanning and exception handling
- Implementation of the Java Native Interface
- Garbage Collection
- Classloading
Where is 64-bit Excelsior JET now?
It is at the halfway point. By this time, we have fully implemented threading and synchronization, object allocation, call stack scanning, and exception handling. Also, a good part of JNI interface has been completed. Garbage collector and classloading are in the works.
What is next?
Now, we start so called “enabling”, that is, making non-trivial Java applications work.
When will first results be seen?
Stay with us, we will get back to you on this a bit later.
