Multitasking Without Compromise: A Virtual Machine Evolution

Overview This paper presents the design of Multitasking Virtual Machine (MVM), focusing on several novel and general techniques: an in-runtime design of lightweight isolation, an extension of a copying, generational garbage collector to provide best-effort management of a portion of the heap space, and a transparent and automated mechanism for safe execution of user-level native code. MVM demonstrates that multitasking in a safe language can be accomplished with a high degree of protection, without constraining the language, and with competitive performance characteristics.
