A Marmot Overview        

Todd Knoblock, Microsoft Research


Marmot is an optimizing compiler, runtime and libraries for Java.  It
includes a bytecode-to-native compiler.  Our focus is on techniques that
would allow "industrial strength" applications to be programmed in Java
without a significant performance penalty over traditional languages.

In this talk, the architecture of the Marmot internals is presented.  It will
be described how it was necessary to modify standard techniques and
optimizations for use in Marmot.  Also, other, less standard, techniques will
be discussed that have been tried.
