We are not very good at mentioning existing research, but at least for
the case of tracing JITs I think we know pretty much everything
published, which you might find by googling for tracing JIT. (It's
always a better approach than doing "guesses" in an unrelated project's
mailing list.)
For how PyPy's tracing JIT compares to existing approaches, there is a
PyPy paper at:
http://codespeak.net/svn/pypy/extradoc/talk/icooolps2009/
As well as the start of a draft about virtuals at:
http://codespeak.net/svn/pypy/extradoc/talk/s3-2010/
And you should not miss Benjamin's great summary at:
http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/jit/pyjitpl5.html
A bientot,
Armin.
