This document summarizes a presentation about a new JIT compiler for the VA Smalltalk virtual machine. Some key points: - A new just-in-time (JIT) compiler has been added that is template-based and powered by LLVM. It generates optimized native code and avoids stack usage where possible. - The JIT compiler includes optimizations like inline caches and super-instructions. It compiles methods by copying templates, doing optimizations, and performing relocation fixes. - Early benchmarks show the new JIT compiler provides a significant performance boost over the previous interpreter-only version, such as a 12.8 second runtime for a typical use case versus 17.5 seconds previously.
