== ParaVM: Parallella Virtual Machine ==

                -- Introduction --

ParaVM is a virtual machine written specifically for the Epiphany processor
achitecture. More specifically, it is meant to run on a 'regular' host CPU
(such as x86 or ARM) where it compiles code (in a JIT fashion) to Epiphany
machine code that is executed on Epiphany accelerator cores in an isolated
way similar to the concurrency model employed by Erlang. One such system is
the Parallella board which ParaVM is primarily written for.
