Harmony JVM needs to be designed to support non-reentrant JITs as a

It also needs to be designed to take advantage of reentrant JITs.
This is
particularly important as the industry moves to multicore.
Is it possible to have some kind of core-affinity for the JIT? So
non-reentrant JITs could be used in multicore systems w/o a rewrite?
To have clean, easy to maintain Execution Manager interfaces, there
needs to
be well thought out JIT ABI to C/C++ ABIs. This will allow activation
records from JIT code to interoperate with activation records from an
interpreter written in C/C++.
What's an activation record? (I'd ask "why do they need to
interoperate", but I'll save that if your answer doesn't give me a
hint...)
