I have applied for such a scholarship to test a JIT compiler we have
been developing. I made the application just after the scholarship
announced in 2002. But I could have no response from Sun.
I hope you get a good response.

My application was as follows:

Dear Sirs,

An attached text is an application to the Sun's TCK scholorship program.
I hope you review it.

Section III. Project Description

III.a   Name of project:

  shuJIT : a Java Just-in-Time Compiler for x86 processors

III.b   If applicable, web site or url:

  http://www.shudo.net/jit/

III.c   Description of project:

  The purpose of the project is to develop a light-weight practical
  JIT compiler, which is also useful as a base of derived researches.

III.d   Schedule. Describe the timeline for the project, eg when is the 
anticipated ship date,
what stage is it now (alpha, beta, early access etc):

  The project started in 1998 and now the JIT has been working on
  Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD with x86 processors.  I have used it as a
  base of several researches including an efficient implementation of
  `strictfp' semantics and a transparent distributed object (MetaVM)
  while it has been used as a practical JIT compiler in Linux and
  FreeBSD communities.  It has also been used as bases of researches
  drived by other researchers including Jaguar project by Matt Welsh
  and efforts on profiling of Java programs.

  Recently, The shuJIT (also OpenJIT 1 and TYA) is worth little as a
  practical JIT compiler on Linux because now Linux community has high
  performance Java runtimes (i.e. HotSpot VMs and IBM Tokyo's JITC).
  But BSD community could not be able to have those runtimes, then
  shuJIT is still used widely in the community.  Its stability and
  compatibility to the Java Virtual Machine specification are
  important for many people.


Section IV. TCK

List the JSR(s) you are requesting TCK access for. Indicate for each whether 
you are also requesting to receive support:

  The TCK which confirm the compatibility of a Java runtime to the
  Java Virtual Machine Specification.  AFAIK, It has been known as JCK
  (Java Compatibility Kit).

  I do not expect need of any support.


Section V. Additional information

Provide any additional information or links to web sites or documents that may 
be helpful to the Review Board in considering your application:

  Shudo's efforts related to Java:

    http://www.shudo.net/publications/
    Publications page which shows my efforts related to Java
    including thread migration and distributed objects supported by the JIT.

    http://www.shudo.net/jit/perf/
    Performance comparision of JIT compilers.
    Many runtimes are compared in performance with SPEC JVM98,
    SciMark, Linpack benchmark and so on.


In considering your application the Scholarship Review Board may contact you 
with questions for clarification or additional information.

Thank you,

The Compatibility Testing Scholarship Review Board .
