Another very fast Java VIA implementation
But, quite different concepts

Implementation of VIA library
JAVIA implements as native library, JaguarVIA in Java
JAVIA forced to do this due to proprietary VIPL

External memory management
JAVIA modifies JVM GC, memory allocation 
Map external mem to Java array
Jaguar circumvents JVM entirely
Redirect operations to external mem

Jaguar also addresses:
Fast, protected access to NIC doorbells, queues, etc. 
Also: Disk I/O, virt mem, special CPU insns, serialization...
