OCamlJIT 2.0 - Faster Objective Caml

Abstract

This paper presents the current state of an ongoing research project to improve the performance of the OCaml byte-code interpreter using Just-In-Time native code generation. Our JIT engine OCamlJIT2 currently runs on x86-64 processors, mimicing precisely the behavior of the OCaml virtual machine. Its design and implementation is described, and performance measures are given.
