We are proud to announce the development of the next decade VM - called GVM the generic virtual machine.
Our Win32 32 Bit VM is much faster than the VSE-VM & much more feature rich
Based on this VM we started the development of a new VM which we called GVM. GVM will have the same features mentioned above but will be available as a 64 Bit Version and later on different processor architectures and operating systems.
The GVM understands different bytecode / primitive sets. Bytecode and primitive sets are represented in LSW VCode. LSW VCode is the base codeset which is understood by the GVM Jit-Engine. All bytecode sets are rendered down to LSW VCode, which itself is rendered to the target code of the platform.
The GVM implements 3 default bytecode sets:
VSE
Dolphin
Smalltalk-80
Bytecode-sets & primitive sets can be loaded dynamically. This feature allows to change huge parts of the GVM while it is running and it is the reason why we call the GVM generic.
Further bytecode-sets are under development
Java bytecode
MSIL
GVM -64 Bit is a true 64 Bit VM and uses 64 Bit Object Pointers.
