We presented early perf numbers from the classic subset which we felt had well known benchmarks. We wanted to present an good overall view of what we can do right now as opposed to biasing towards only the best running benchmarks. There was also the matter of presentation, its a bit easier to present a chart of 9 versus 43.

The team is interested in working on a paper, once the hard work is closer to being done.

magaudet and I are from IBM and are happy to answer any questions.

tl;dr: IBM is breaking apart its JVM runtime technology to allow easy reuse and integration of its GC, JIT and Tooling into other languages. This has been proven with a JIT + GC + Diagnostics enabled version of Ruby (MRI) and Python (CPython)
