Performance Issues for Multi-language Java Applications

The Java programming environment is increasingly being used to build large-scale multi-language applications. Whether these applications combine Java with other languages for legacy reasons, to address performance concerns, or to add Java functionality to preexisting server environments, they require correct and e cient native interfaces. This paper examines current native interface implementations, presents performance results, and discusses performance improvements in our IRIX Java Virtual Machine and Just-In-Time Compiler that have sped up native interfacing by signi cant factors over previous releases.
