Jikes Research Virtual Machine

The Jikes Research Virtual Machine (Jikes RVM) is an open-source platform designed for research and experimentation with Java virtual machine technologies. It provides a customizable environment where researchers can explore advanced features like garbage collection, just-in-time compilation, and memory management. Unlike standard Java Virtual Machines used in everyday applications, Jikes RVM allows for deep modifications and testing of the JVM’s inner workings, making it a valuable tool for advancing understanding and development in virtual machine performance and optimization.
