dJVM provides a distributed Java virtual Machine (JVM) on a cluster. It hides the distributed nature of the underlying machine from a Java application by presenting a single system image (SSI) to that application. dJVM is based on the Jikes RVM [Alpern et al, 1999] (a JVM written entirely in Java) and is the first distributed implementation of the Jikes RVM. This provides a framework for exploring a range of distributed runtime support algorithms on large clusters. Implementing this system using the Jikes RVM raises a number of issues that are addressed in this paper.
