Sun Labs are looking for students to work on a JVM project

Sun Labs is undertaking the design and implementation of a new research JVM, written in Java, code-named "Maxine" (formerly "Maxwell"). The Maxine architecture is unique in its aggressive leverage of meta-circularity, its modularity and configurability, its IDE-friendliness and its simple build process. It comes with a combined low-level debugger GUI and object browser known as the Maxine Inspector (think Smalltalk/Self with integrated gdb/dbx).

It is their plan to make Maxine the next generation research JVM of choice, and to that end, this summer they will be offering 6 Sun intern positions ents, in order to expose their system in a controlled and limited manner ahead of its release as open source.  These students will engage in small design and implementation teams developing garbage collectors, making improvements to their compiler system (register allocation, loop optimizations, etc.) and expanding other managed runtime features.

Sun Labs plans to select their interns this month.  More information about Maxine will be made available by personal communication on request.

Interested students should submit their resume for one of the following 6 job offers and contact Mario Wolczko directly via e-mail.
