   The Hydra^VM^ project focuses on extracting parallelism from sequential code (e.g., legacy systems) through a set of techniques including code profiling and visualization, data dependency analysis, execution analysis, and software transactional memory, all done at the bytecode-level. Thus, no changes or recompilation is needed to application source codes. Hydra^VM^ is a virtual machine prototype that incorporates these techniques, built by extending [http://jikesrvm.org Jikes RVM] and modifying the [http://jikesrvm.org Jikes RVM] baseline compiler.
