a Java Virtual Machine (Java VM or JVM) that uses LLVM for static and

collectors, and can be configured to use MMTk's copy mark-sweep garbage
collector. In LLVM 2.8, the VMKit .NET VM is no longer being maintained.

<div class="doc_text">
<p>
<a href="http://faust.grame.fr">FAUST</a> is a compiled language for real-time
audio signal processing. The name FAUST stands for Functional AUdio STream. Its
programming model combines two approaches: functional programming and block
diagram composition. In addition with the C, C++, JAVA output formats, the
Faust compiler can now generate LLVM bitcode, and works with LLVM 2.7 and
2.8.</p>

href="http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/orcc/wiki/JadeDocumentation">Jade</a>
(Just-in-time Adaptive Decoder Engine) is a generic video decoder engine using
LLVM for just-in-time compilation of video decoder configurations. Those
configurations are designed by MPEG Reconfigurable Video Coding (RVC) committee.
MPEG RVC standard is built on a stream-based dataflow representation of
decoders. It is composed of a standard library of coding tools written in
RVC-CAL language and a dataflow configuration &emdash; block diagram &emdash;
of a decoder.</p>
<p>Jade project is hosted as part of the <a href="http://orcc.sf.net">Open
RVC-CAL Compiler</a> and requires it to translate the RVC-CAL standard library
of video coding tools into an LLVM assembly code.</p>

replaces the standard Neko JIT with an LLVM-based implementation. While not
fully complete, it is already providing a 1.5x speedup on 64-bit systems.
Neko LLVM JIT requires LLVM 2.8 or later.</p>

<a href="http://code.google.com/p/crack-language/">Crack</a> aims to provide
the ease of development of a scripting language with the performance of a
compiled language. The language derives concepts from C++, Java and Python,
incorporating object-oriented programming, operator overloading and strong
typing. Crack 0.2 works with LLVM 2.7, and the forthcoming Crack 0.2.1 release
builds on LLVM 2.8.</p>

<a href="http://tm.inf.tu-dresden.de">DTMC</a> provides support for
Transactional Memory, which is an easy-to-use and efficient way to synchronize
accesses to shared memory. Transactions can contain normal C/C++ code (e.g.,
__transaction { list.remove(x); x.refCount--; }) and will be executed
virtually atomically and isolated from other transactions.</p>

</div>
<div class="doc_text">
<p>
<a href="http://www.oriontransfer.co.nz/research/kai">Kai</a> (Japanese 会 for
meeting/gathering) is an experimental interpreter that provides a highly
extensible runtime environment and explicit control over the compilation
process. Programs are defined using nested symbolic expressions, which are all
parsed into first-class values with minimal intrinsic semantics. Kai can
generate optimised code at run-time (using LLVM) in order to exploit the nature
of the underlying hardware and to integrate with external software libraries.
It is a unique exploration into world of dynamic code compilation, and the
interaction between high level and low level semantics.</p>
