Abstract

The Common Language Infrastructure is a new, standardized virtual machine that is likely to become popular on several platforms. In this paper we review whether this technology has any future in the high-performance computing community, for example by targeting the same application space as the Java-Grande Forum. We review the technology by benchmarking three implementations of the CLI and compare those with the results on Java virtual machines.
