Hi Michael,

That's an interesting job. I just wonder if you have any statistics regarding the performance degradations as a result of applying this new infrastructure to Jikes with no instrumentation provided?

Best,
Mohammad

Dear Researchers,

I wanted to let you know about a patch recently added to the Research Archive that addresses challenges related to the fact that in Jikes RVM, the same Java libraries are called by both the VM and the application. In patched Jikes RVM, there are two versions of every library method: one called from the "VM context" and one called from the "application context." This makes it straightforward to instrument or modify only library methods called by the application, but not the VM, since the compiler just needs to check which version of a library method it's compiling.

http://sourceforge.net/p/jikesrvm/research-archive/39/

There's a README in the patch that provides more details about the implementation, as well as acknowledgments.

Questions, suggestions, improvements to the patch, and other feedback are greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Mike
