ABSTRACT	In this paper, we give an overview of the Jalape~no Java Virtual Machine (JVM) research project at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center. The goal of Jalape~no is to expand the frontier of JVM technologies for server machines. As reported in the paper, several of the design and implementation decisions in Jalape~no depend heavily on compiler support. Two noteworthy features of the Jalape~no JVM are as follows. First, the Jalape~no JVM takes a compile-only approach to program execution. Instead of providing both an interpreter and a JIT compiler as in other JVMs, bytecodes are always translated to machine code before they are executed. Second, the Jalape~no JVM is itself implemented in Java! This design choice brings with it several advantages as well as technical challenges. The Jalape~no project was initiated in January 1998 and is work-in-progress. This paper summarizes our design decisions and early experiences in working towards our goal of building a high-performance JVM for SMP server machines. 1	SVM HeaderParse 0.1
