Excellent work, Esteban & Guillermo (and of course Eliot to begin with), very good to hear.
Now, I guess the actual debugging road will be long and dangerous ;-)
Apart from the speedup, does this also include 64-bit memory ?
nope :( but this is a necessary step to allow us to start working on the 64bits vm (which I hope to start soon too)

Hi,
Iâve been working on prepare Pharo to run with the new Spur VM⦠and finally this week Guille and I sit together and make a huge advance :) here a screenshot of pharo 4 running with spur: <Screen Shot 2014-07-02 at 15.58.17.png> for more information, same image before migration, with a regular cogvm gives this numbers: '1297023432 bytecodes/sec; 161029354 sends/secâ, so that means that the tiny benchmarks run at 166% the speed of the old vm⦠Of course this is just one benchmark, but Iâm very impressed :)
Now, it is still not usable but Iâm confident I can put a jenkins job to work very soon :)
Esteban
ps: before you start asking: Spur WILL NOT be available for Pharo3, it will be part of Pharo4.
