Affordable transparent clustering solutions to scale non-HPC applications on commodity
clusters (such as Terracotta) are emerging for Java Virtual Machines (JVMs). Working in this …

The upcoming many-core architectures require software developers to exploit concurrency
to utilize available computational power. Today's high-level language virtual machines …

We present a virtualisation and method specialisation framework for Java that facilitates
efficient, dynamic modification of the behaviour of object accesses at run time. The …

As the number of cores continuously grows, processor designers are considering non
coherent memories as more scalable and energy efficient alternatives to the current …

In a world where intelligence can be arguably measured by an animal's ability to use tools,
are we marking ourselves for natural selection? Software development tools are steadily …

Distribution is hard to modularize. Consequently, its addition to a software system can
jeopardize fundamental software engineering principles such as maintainability …

Protecting data is a critical part of life in the modern world. The science of protecting data,
known as cryptography, makes use of secret keys to encrypt data in a format that is not …

ABSTRACT The distributed Java Virtual Machine (dJVM) is a cluster aware implementation
of a JVM, designed specifically for evaluating distributed runtime support algorithms [6]. A …

dJVM is a distributed Java Virtual Machine (JVM) which provides a Single System Image of
a cluster. Performance improvements are key to the development of the dJVM project. Object …

This project describes and implements a framework to support the execution of specialised
methods within the Jikes RVM. The idea is that by applying suitable bytecode …
