63 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 | 64 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. |
65 This compiler-runtime interface enables the use of one compiler for multiple VMs. | |

155 \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 | 156 \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. |

485 However, a frame state is not a concept specific to Java (e.g., the Crankshaft JavaScript engine uses frame states in their optimizing compiler to model the values of the AST interpreter). |

488 Therefore every point in the optimizing compiler that may revert execution back to the interpreter needs a valid frame state. |

489 However, the point where the interpreter continues execution need not correspond exactly to the execution position of the compiled code, because many Java bytecode instructions can be safely reexecuted. |

666 There is another optimization for guard instructions: If two guards that are anchored to the true and false branch of the same \texttt{If} instruction have the same condition, they can be merged, so that the resulting guard is anchored at the most distant node of which the \texttt{If} instruction is a postdominator. |
