Re: [kaffe] Porting Kaffe on Cray

[Kevin D. Kissell]

I would think that the biggest problem is going to come from a lack of GNU infrastructure. Do you have gcc and gnu make working on that platform?  If you've got that in place, given that 64-bit ports have already been done, an interpreter port ought not to be too difficult.  A JIT3 implementation for the SV1 processor would be a lot of work, considering that most non-x86 JIT3 ports are currently failing at least one regression test, but might be worth spending some effort, since even with a JIT, I would expect kaffe to run like sludge on a Cray scalar unit.  If you can figure out a practical way to use the vector units for Java interpretation or JITting, I can pretty much guarantee you a doctorate from any one of a number of leading computer science schools.  ;o)   ----- Original Message ----- From: Babar To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2003 7:54 AM Subject: Re: [kaffe] Porting Kaffe on Cray Thank you Tony and Kevin for all valuable suggestions. The machine is Cray SV1 and UNIX version running on this machine is UNICOS.   I am just looking into different issues right now before we start working on porting it.   -- Babar     Do you Yahoo!?
