The resulting JikesRVM binary and image keep seg faulting however on my machine The most likely explanation for this is that your glibc is not using the GS register for pthread local state. You can kludge around this by building Jikes RVM with RVM_FOR_SINGLE_VIRTUAL_PROCESSOR=1. However, the

Something to note: At least for IKVM (and I suspect for others as well), the floating point benchmarks are probably inflated since I don't think it implements FP correctly (i.e. it uses x86 FP and not the JVM model). The Java 2 JVM model allows double-precision arithmetic in x86 FP semantics

Hi Mark, You can find performance measurements SableVM compared to other free/non-free JVMs running some real benchmarks (SPECjvm, Soot, SableCC) in my Ph.D. Thesis. Look for the Chapter on performance measurements. More precisely, you might be interested by Tables 9.1 and 9.2 on page 118.
