Title: Department of Computer Science Seminar Date: Wednesday, 4 June 2003 Time: 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm Venue: Room N101, CSIT Building [108] Title: Designing a distributed JVM on a Cluster. Speaker: Mr. John Zigman (DCS at ANU) Abstract: dJVM provides a distributed Java Virtual Machine (JVM) on a cluster. It hides the distributed nature of the underlying machine from a Java application by presenting a single system image (SSI) to that application. dJVM is based on the Jikes RVM (a JVM written entirely in Java) and is the first distributed implementation of the Jikes RVM. This provides a framework for exploring a range of distributed runtime support algorithms on large clusters. Implementing this system using the Jikes RVM raises a number of issues that are addressed in this talk. Biography: John is a postgraduate student at DCS.
