A Retargetable JIT Compiler for Java
نویسندگان
چکیده
Interpreted Java has poor performance. Therefore most Java Virtual Machines (JVM) contain a just-in-time compiler (JIT) that compiles the bytecode to the processor’s native instruction set. Most of these compilers are written in C and tightly integrated with the JVM. We describe a JIT compiler that is written in Java and retargetable to a different JVMs and CPUs.

OpenJIT 2: The Design and Implementation of Application Framework for JIT Compilers
We are currently working on a new architecture for Java JIT compilers to allow coexistence of multiple, customized JIT compilers in a single Java VM simultaneously without prohibitive space or programming costs, called OpenJIT2. The project builds on the success of OpenJIT1, the rst open-ended JIT compiler for Java written in Java. Not only that our new architecture subsumes the so-called `bi-l...

متن کاملAn Experimental Evaluation of JAVA JIT Technology
Interpreted languages are widely used due to ease to use, portability, and safety. On the other hand, interpretation imposes a significance overhead. Just-inTime (JIT) compilation is a popular approach to improving the runtime performance of languages such as Java. We compare the performance of a JIT compiler with a traditional compiler and with an emulator. We show that the compilation overhea...
متن کاملImplementing an Eecient Java Interpreter
The Java virtual machine (JVM) is usually implemented with an interpreter or just-in-time (JIT) compiler. JIT compilers provide the best performance, but must be substantially rewritten for each architecture they are ported to. Interpreters are easier to develop and maintain, and can be ported to new architectures with almost no changes. The weakness of interpreters is that they are much slower...
