[viff-devel] Specification of VIFF as a VM

[Martin Geisler]

Hi everybody,

I have been looking at writing a specification of "VIFF as a VM". The
idea is to consider the API offered by VIFF as a target for a compiler
(not yet written). This is done for the CACE project[1] where there
will be a meeting on December 3rd.


So far I've made a rough sketch of such a specification, and I would
like your comments. I've attached a PDF with the latest version (I'm
sorry that this file got so big, but someone managed to make a 1.4 MiB
file with the CACE logo, and this is included in the PDF.).

Currently I have written a bit about this and that, but the document
need some heavy editing.

You can find my work here:

and you are very welcome to send me any corrections.
