Another paper on invokedynamic

[Chanwit Kaewkasi]

Dear all,

This is another paper on invokedynamic (second to John Rose's :)) to
be appeared in VMIL '10:

Abstract
========
This paper presents a study of a Java Virtual Machine prototype
from the Da Vinci Machine project, defined by JSR 292. It
describes binary translation techniques to prepare benchmarks to
run on the invokedynamic mode of the prototype, resulting
in the  invokedynamic version of the SciMark 2.0 suite.
Benchmark preparation techniques presented in this paper are
proven to be useful as the  invokedynamic version of
benchmark programs successfully identified strange slowness
behavior of the  invokedynamic mode of the server virtual
machine.

Surprisingly, benchmarking results show that the  invoke-
dynamic mode with direct method handles on the server
virtual machine is just 2-5 times slower than native Java
invocations, except the Monte Carlo benchmark. But this mode
on the client virtual machine still requires further performance
tuning.

I hope you find it useful somehow and any feedback is very welcome!
