Open Runtime Platform

["J. Perkins" <jason@...>]

Don't know if this is of any benefit to anyone, but I just
stumbled across this.

http://orp.sourceforge.net/

"To date, an open source research platform that allows 
interchangeable modules implementing Just-In-Time compilers (JITs) 
and Garbage Collection (GC) has not been available to the academic 
research community. ORP (Open Runtime Platform) is an open source 
research infrastructure project that provides these features thus 
enabling the rapid evolution of systems research of dynamic 
compilation and memory management."

"The basic system incorporates a fast code generating JIT as well as 
an optimizing JIT. It also includes several GC algorithms, ranging 
from a simple mark-sweep algorithm to an advanced train algorithm."
