Swift beta Now Available

Compaq Swift is a highly optimizing Java Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compiler for
the Fast Virtual Machine for the Tru64T UNIX® Operating System for the JavaT
Platform and is tightly integrated with and dependent on the Fast VM run
time environment. The Swift code provides a substantial performance boost to
many programs. A gain of 40 to 80% has been typical among most of the
industry standard benchmarks.

Swift takes Java class files as input and outputs highly optimized Alpha
code that can be used by the Fast VM. Note that the precompiled output Swift
produces cannot be used with the classic VM (i.e., if you use the -classic
switch to the java command). Unlike most Java AOT compilers, Swift is 100%
compatible with all Java language features including reflection and dynamic
class loading.
