[rvm-research] Question about ideas for code contribution: improve efficiency of compiler phase

Hi,

I'm a member of a group of students that is currently attending University
classes about Virtual Execution Environments.
We are supposed to do a study about a virtual machine and we chose Jikes
RVM.
We saw in "ideas for code contributions" page that one of the things that
would be useful for the project is improving the efficiency of some
optimizing compiler phase.
Although you already suggest starting phases, we would like to ask if
theres any particular data structure or structures that you would like us
to work on.
We're only now being introduced to this types of systems so we have limited
knowledge about this subjects. As such we're sorry if our question is a bit
silly.
Also if you think that this task might be very complex to be done in the
context of a university subject, be free to tell us. We're only now going
into this and we don't really have a very precise idea about this
mechanisms yet so we might be aiming to high.

We would like to know any information you could provide to us. It would be
very helpful.


Thank you very much

Ricardo Coelho
