Talk Proposal: AArch32 Project

[Edward Nevill]

Title: The AArch32 Project - ARM32 support in our lifetimes

Duration: 25 minutes

Abstract:

Last year I presented some work I had done on the ARM microJIT to enable
it on the Raspberry PI. At the end I suggested the creation of an
AArch32 project to do a fully fledged ARM32 port. I am pleased to say
that an OpenJDK AArch32 port has been created
(http://openjdk.java.net/projects/aarch32-port) and we have an initial
port of the Template Interpreter thanks to some excellent work by Joseph
Joyce.

This talk will update on the progress of the AArch32 project and also a
call for help so we can finally get the ARM32 properly supported in
OpenJDK.
