Re: [rvm-research] Researching the Jikes RVM

Hi,
I feel, testing the non-concurrent implementation would be the first
step in this project, to confirm that the improvements are fair enough
to make the implementation merged with the trunk.

I notice that we require to purchase the benchmark (both SPECjbb2013
and the retired SPECjbb2000). Can I obtain a copy of (or a pointer to)
the benchmark that is used by the Jikes RVM, to test the initial
implementation (probably, at a latter stage of the development)?

Thank you.
Regards,
Pradeeban.
