Distributed Squawk (DiSquawk) is a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that implements the Java Memory Model on non cache coherent architectures.

DiSquawk is being developed and tested on a 520-core prototype built using the Formic Board. DiSquawk is originally based on the Squawk JVM and the core libraries of Myrmics.

• There is no Garbage Collection.
• There is no filesystem support.
• Sockets are not implemented.
• A few classes from the Java library are missing (CLDC and J2ME based).
