Does IBM Research plan to continue to use Jikes RVM?
IBM Research plans to continue using Jikes RVM as a testbed to develop new virtual machine technologies internally in IBM, and also through collaborations with universities. Some of the technology areas that we might pursue include: dynamic code optimization, virtual machine technologies for web services and grid computing, extensions for real-time processing, smart debugging, integration into the Eclipse framework, and technologies for improving the speed of XML processing.
