62 In 2009, the Maxine team started with creating C1X, a Java port of the HotSpot client compiler, and integrated it into the Maxine VM. |
2604 | 63 Part of this effort was the development of a clear and clean compiler-runtime interface that allows the separation of the compiler and the VM. |
64 This compiler-runtime interface enables the use of one compiler for multiple VMs. | |

124 The \emph{intermediate representation}~(IR) of the compiler is designed as a directed graph. |

135 \item Control dependencies and data dependencies each represent a \emph{directed acyclic graph} (DAG) on the same set of nodes. This means that data dependencies always point upwards, and control dependencies always point downwards in a drawing of the graph. Situations that normally incur cycles (like loops) are represented by special nodes (see Section~\ref{sec:loops}). |
2619 | 136 \item Ordering between nodes is specified only to the extent which is required to correctly express the semantics of a given program. This gives the compiler flexibility for the possible scheduling of a node and therefore wiggle room for optimizations. For algorithms that require a fixed ordering of nodes, a temporary schedule can always be generated. |

305 The total number of iterations always denotes the number of full iterations of the loop with the control flowing from the loop begin to the loop end. |
2604 | 306 If the total number of iterations is reached, the loop is exited directly from the loop header. |

411 Guard nodes are not attached to a certain frame state node, they can move around freely and will always use the correct frame state when the nodes are scheduled (i.e., the last emitted frame state). |

412 The node that is guarded by the deoptimization has a data dependency on the guard, and the guard in turn has a data dependency on the condition and on the most distant node that is postdominated by the guarded node. |
