Abstract

: JikesRVM is a Java Virtual Machine which uses "only compile" strategy to execute java bytecode. It uses more than one compilers with more than one optimization levels and dynamic compilation to get good performance out of the VM. It is also the first VM to experiment with on line adaptive feedback optimization techniques (especially in inlining). We present some alternative techniques which are used in the inlining strategies used in Jikes to improve performance further.
