It may be possible to use this code for OSX on G5 systems. It would = require additional work for to support 32-bit G4 systems. -----Original Message----- From: Toby Thain [mailto:toby@telegraphics.com.au]=20 Sent: Saturday, February 13, 2016 3:35 PM To: Curtis Hamilton <hamiltcl@verizon.net>; 'Joe Nosay' = <superbisquit@gmail.com> Cc: java@freebsd.org; bsd-port-dev@openjdk.java.net Subject: Re: FreeBSD PowerPC Port On 2016-02-13 3:06 PM, Curtis Hamilton wrote: > Thanks for the response, but I think you missed the point of my email. > > As I stated in my email, I've already built a Zero VM, interpreter = based JDK.

Which is an order = of magnitude faster than the interpreted JDK. Nice work! I'd be interested to see a path to getting that working on the OS = X/PowerPC target. Would you say it's feasible? There is a working Zero build at least for JDK 7.
