It is possible to run the [http://jikesrvm.org/ Jikes RVM (Research Virtual Machine)] and the [http://www.dacapobench.org/ DaCapo benchmarks suite] on top of Sniper. The latest [[Benchmarks]] release contains all code necessary to do this.

 Steps:
-* Compile Sniper in 32-bit mode: by default on a 32-bit host OS, or to cross-compile use <code>make SNIPER_TARGET_ARCH=i386</code>

 * Obtain the [[Download_Benchmarks|benchmarks]], and follow these steps to compile Jikes

In general, AMD machines seem to cause issues. Running on a 32-bit OS, or in a 32-bit changeroot, is preferable over cross-compiling on a 64-bit OS.
