DESCRIPTION:Barrelfish is a research operating system based on the Multike
 rnel model\, an OS structure that treats heterogeneous multi-core systems 
 as a network of independent nodes communicating via message-passing. Argua
 bly\, such a system can benefit from high-level programming models such as
  the Java Virtual Machine\, since they can provide a single-system image a
 nd facilitate migration of threads between cores\, making the system easie
 r to program. This work investigates the core challenges of this approach 
 by bringing up a JVM on Barrelfish. We compare two different implementatio
 ns\, one based on shared memory\, the other on message passing (enabling i
 t to run on non-cache coherent systems). \n\nThis is a practice talk for w
 ork being presented at the 2nd workshop on Systems for Future Multi-core A
 rchitectures (SFMA'12) at EuroSys 2012.\n\nBio: Martin Maas is a first-yea
 r PhD student at the University of California\, Berkeley. He completed his
  B.A. at the Computer Lab in 2011.\n
