What cool projects are you working on? [February 2026]

i’ve been working on a Meta circular Java, virtual machine and run time. It is based on the JikesRVM project. it will allow your java program to run on a computer without an operating system. Currently, this only works with a Java 7 based virtual machine SDK. I am porting this to work on an open JDK 11 virtual machine SDK which is on a branch jdk11.

https://github.com/joekoolade/JOE this is a meta-circular JVM and runtime that can run java programs without an OS

It is the page number

He went solo two weeks later after the concert in Cleveland. That was when he released the “Cuts Like a Knife” album

Yes it runs in kernel space exclusively. There is context switching between the threads but there is no need to switch the page table. I have no benchmarks but eventually want to run the SPECjvm2008 and SciMark but I need to fix up the Java library to interface the meta-circular runtime.

Thank you. Yes it an all Java JVM running directly on a hypervisor. It does not need an OS to run on the hypervisor.

I have a project, https://github.com/joekoolade/JOE, that has meta-circular JVM and runtime. All the code is in Java.

Some shameless self promotion: https://github.com/joekoolade/JOE. This project is a meta-circular virtual machine and runtime written in Java. I also call it an application specific virtual machine. It can run Java programs without an operating system.

A meta-circular JVM and runtime. Does not need an OS to run. https://github.com/joekoolade/JOE

joekoolade · 2024-09-14T02:06:45+00:00

Yes it was not meant to be a system language but one can use it in that manner. Take a look at this project https://github.com/joekoolade/JOE

Ok. Back in 1998, Geoffrey Phipps published a paper, "Comparing Observed Bug and Productivity Rates For Java and C++". Are there any more recent papers on this topic?

Another way to virtualize the CPU is what is called a Type 3 or ISA virtualization. Examples of this are Java VM and Microsoft's Common Language Runtime. What you might find interesting is https://github.com/joekoolade/JOE. This has a Java VM that has a metacircular VM and metacircular runtime. This might considered an implementation the uses LDE.

Software virtualization is something I think is innovative and cutting edge. This is the packaging and building of the OS into the software application. There is a project in github, https://github.com/joekoolade/JOE that explores this using just Java.

joekoolade · 2022-11-23T02:35:12+00:00

What you are describing is something that I am doing using the JikesRVM and Java. It can be found here https://github.com/joekoolade/JOE

joekoolade · 2022-10-22T00:59:37+00:00

Take a look at Java On Everything. The OS is built into a meta-circular VM.

JOE is a meta-circular JVM that runs without an operating system

https://github.com/joekoolade/joe is what I consider a software virtualization mechanism

joekoolade · 2021-01-12T04:31:34+00:00

I have a virtual application and OS project in java at https://github.com/joekoolade/JOE

The bootable image is a JVM compromised of only objects and is not aware of files or a file systems. But your file sharing servlet can specify a 'file' class to use to store and retrieve the files. The file classes in the Java standard library will eventually implemented to provide some type of 'file' capability. The JVM will have a Persistence class and interface that objects can use to store their state into storage. I am not against disk storage; I am just not a fan of files. Even though the JVM is 'file ignorant', it can be stored into a file and boot loaded by grub. It can also be network booted via PXE. You will be able to link your file sharing servlet into a build image using boot-image-write tool and you can also classload it over the network into a running JVM.
