Is there any JVM that runs on a CBE?

Question

I'm designing a question-answering system using Apache-UIMA. The system should finally run on a IBM Cell-Broadband-Engine processor(PS3). I'm planning to design the whole thing in Java. But I'm not sure whether Java app could be run on a CBE. Is there any JVM that runs on a CBE?.

Answer 1

Jikes RVM is known to work on PowerPC architecture, so it should work on the PPE. A quick Google search leads to Hera JVM which extends JikesRVM to the SPEs for the CELL Architecture. I haven't found any binary available, though
