**Objectives**

Identification and Implementation of Optimisations
through modifications of the Translator.
Enable Massive Parallelism in a Single Thread.
Provide support for real-time parallelism.
Allow Pickling of a Running Program.

**Description of work**

**Task 1**

Enhance the translator to support continuation passing
style by integrating technology from the Stackless project.
Implement the necessary runtime system to support
massive parallelism.
Implement a single-threaded, pre-emptive scheduler with
priorities, complementing the OS threads.

**Task 2**

Study approaches concerning code size vs. speed trade-offs.
Implement and compare different object layout and memory management strategy 
or strategies.
Enhance multimethod dispatching.
Implement schemes of pointer tagging.
Create reports and merge the results back into the optimization effort.
As of general interest, submit the reports as publication.

**Milestones and Expected Result**

- M3 High performance PyPy, together with WP08_. Outperform the
  state-of-the art (Psyco, Stackless).
