Требуются умные студенты и аспиранты в очень хорошее место
At Sun Labs, we are undertaking the design and implementation of a new
research JVM, written in Java, code-named "Maxine" (formerly
"Maxwell"). The Maxine architecture is unique in its aggressive
leverage of meta-circularity, its modularity and configurability, its
IDE-friendliness and its simple build process. It comes with a
combined low-level debugger GUI and object browser known as the Maxine
Inspector (think Smalltalk/Self with integrated gdb/dbx).

Our plan is to make Maxine the next generation research JVM of choice,
and to that end, this summer we will be offering 6 Sun intern
positions to outstanding grad students, in order to expose our system
in a controlled and limited manner ahead of its release as open
source. These students will engage in small design and implementation
teams developing garbage collectors, making improvements to our
compiler system (register allocation, loop optimizations, etc.) and
expanding other managed runtime features.

I am writing to ask if you have outstanding grad students whom you
would recommend. We are looking for students with high ability in the
usual VM topics as well as strong skills in both systems programming
and Java 5.

We plan to select our interns this month. More information about
Maxine will be made available by personal communication on request.
