  • Type Feedback for Bytecode Interpreters Position Paper ICOOOLPS 2007
    Type Feedback for Bytecode Interpreters Position Paper ICOOOLPS 2007 Michael Haupt1, Robert Hirschfeld1, and Marcus Denker2 1 Software Architecture Group Hasso-Plattner-Institut University of Potsdam, Germany 2 Software Composition Group Institute of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics University of Berne, Switzerland michael.haupt,hirschfeld @hpi.uni-potsdam.de, denker@iam.unibe.ch { } Abstract. This position paper proposes the exploitation of type feed- back mechanisms, or more precisely, polymorphic inline caches, for purely interpreting implementations of object-oriented programming languages. Using Squeak’s virtual machine as an example, polymorphic inline caches are discussed as an alternative to global caching. An implementation proposal for polymorphic inline caches in the Squeak virtual machine is presented, and possible future applications for online optimization are outlined. 1 Introduction Bytecode interpreters are small in size and comparatively easy to implement, but generally execute programs much less efficiently than just-in-time (JIT) compilers. Techniques like threaded interpretation [9, 11, 2] focus on speeding up bytecode interpretation itself, and caching [4, 5, 1] improves the performance of message sends—the most common operation in object-oriented software [7]. It is interesting to observe that, while threading mechanisms are used natu- rally to a varying degree in bytecode interpreter implementations, such systems usually employ only global caching to speed up dynamic method dispatch. A global cache is clearly beneficial with respect to overall performance. Still, it does not provide optimal support for polymorphic message send sites, and it does not allow for exploiting type information (we provide details on these issues in the following section). In our opinion, the employment of polymorphic inline caches (PICs) [5] instead can provide means for achieving significant speedups in bytecode interpreters while exhibiting only a moderate increase in memory footprint and implementation complexity.

  • A Tour of the Squeak Object Engine
    A Tour of the Squeak Object Engine A Tour of the Squeak Object Engine Tim Rowledge, tim@sumeru.stanford.edu Introduction This chapter is intended to explain some basics of how a Virtual Machine (VM) works, why a VM is useful, what it does for the Squeak programmer and user, and how the Squeak VM might develop in the future. What is a Virtual Machine and why do we need one? A Virtual Machine provides us with a pretense of being a machine other than the actual hardware in use. Using one allows systems that behave differently than the host hardware to run as if on hardware designed for them. The term Object Engine is less commonly used but is a useful concept that includes the lowest system areas of the langauge environment running on the VM. Since there is often some flux in the definition of which components are within the actual VM and which are part of the supported environment, Object Engine is useful as a more inclusive term. The term Virtual Machine is used in several ways. When IBM refer to VM/CMS they are referring to a way of making a mainframe behave as if it is many machines, so that programs can assume they have total control even though they do not. Intel provide a somewhat similar facility in the x86 architecture(?), referred to as Virtual Mode. This sort of VM is a complete hardware simulation, often supported at the lowest level by the hardware. Another sort of VM is the emulator - SoftWindows for the Mac, Acorn's !PC, Linux's WINE are good examples - where another machine and/or OS is simulated to allow a Mac user to run Windows programs, an Acorn RiscPC or a Linux machine to run Windows98 programs and so on.

The work described here was performed while employed by Xerox Corporation. XEROX Xerox Corporation Palo Alto Research Center 3333 Coyote Hill Road Palo Alto, California 94304 1 Abstract: This collection of papers comprises a report on Cedar, a state-of-the-art programming system. Cedar combines in a single integrated environment: high-quality graphics, a sophisticated editor and document preparation facility, and a variety of tools for the programmer to use in the construction and debugging of his programs. The Cedar Programming Language is a strongly-typed, compiler-oriented language of the Pascal family. What is especially interesting about the Ce~ar project is that it is one of the few examples where an interactive, experimental programming environment has been built for this kind of language. In the past, such environments have been confined to dynamically typed languages like Lisp and Smalltalk. The first paper, "The Roots of Cedar," describes the conditions in 1978 in the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center's Computer Science Laboratory that led us to embark on the Cedar project and helped to define its objectives and goals.

It is written mostly in Java and can be used to develop applications in Java and, by means of various plug-ins, other programming languages including Ada, C, C++, COBOL, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby (including Ruby on Rails framework), Scala, Clojure, and Scheme. The IDE is often called Eclipse ADT for Ada, Eclipse CDT for C/C++, Eclipse JDT for Java, and Eclipse PDT for PHP. The initial codebase originated from VisualAge.[2] In its default form it is meant for Java developers, consisting of the Java Development Tools (JDT). Users can extend its abilities by installing plug-ins written for the Eclipse software framework, such as development toolkits for other programming languages, and can write and contribute their own plug-in modules. Released under the terms of the Eclipse Public License, Eclipse is free and open source software. It was one of the first IDEs to run under GNU Classpath and it runs without issues under IcedTea. Eclipse (software) 2 Architecture Eclipse employs plug-ins in order to provide all of its functionality on top of (and including) the runtime system, in contrast to some other applications where functionality is typically hard coded.
