Thus, users can tailor and customize the compilation +of classes at runtime for variety of purposes such as application-specific +optimization and partial evaluation, dynamic, compiler-assisted environment +adaptation of programs, debugging, language extension and experimentation, and +other types of advanced compiler-based research and applications. OpenJIT even +allows full dynamic update of itself by loading the compiler classes on the fly +from the network. + +OpenJIT is fully JDK compliant, and plugs into standard JVMs several Unix +platforms such as Solaris (Sparc), Linux (x86), and FreeBSD (x86). + +On Linux/x86 platform, OpenJIT 1.1.14 is faster than the JDK 1.2 classic VM +compiler, runs more or less the same speed as other commercial JIT compilers on +classic VM. + +OpenJIT is completely free so long as it is used for non-commercial purposes. +Its source, binaries, etc. can be freely distributed and modified without +restriction. + +WWW: http://www.openjit.org/ |
