Topic: Compile computing


  
  Compiler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A compiler is a computer program that translates a series of statements written in one computer language (called the source code) into a resulting output in another computer language (often called the object or target language).
Building a self-hosting compiler is a bootstrapping problem -- the first such compiler for a language must be compiled either by a compiler written in a different language, or (as in Hart and Levin's Lisp compiler) compiled by running the compiler in an interpreter.
Compilers which are capable of producing both native and foreign binary output may be called either a cross-compiler or a native compiler depending on a specific use, although it would be more correct to classify them as a cross-compilers.

 Just-in-time compilation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computing, just-in-time compilation (JIT), also known as dynamic translation, is a technique for improving the performance of bytecode-compiled programming systems, by translating bytecode into native machine code at runtime.
The goal is to combine many of the advantages of native and bytecode compilation: Much of the "heavy lifting" of parsing the original source code and performing basic optimization is handled at compile time, well prior to deployment -- compilation from bytecode to machine code is much faster than from source.
Compilers from bytecode to machine code are easier to write, because the portable bytecode compiler has already done much of the work.

 Interpreter (computing)
This is in contrast to a compiler which does not execute its input program (the source code) but translates it into executable machine code (also called object code) which is output to a file for later execution.
For example Emacs Lisp is compiled to bytecode which is a highly compressed and optimised representation of the Lisp source but is not machine code (and therefore not tied to any particular hardware).
The compiled code in this case is machine code for a virtual machine which is implemented not in hardware but in the byte-code interpreter.

It's like shortcut function syntax that combines a computation with a return of result and AFAIK so long as we don't allow it to call real functions, can be evaluated at compile time.
The real problem is turning all possible arbitrary compile-time constant expressions into constants at compile time, even in say debug builds.
It might also be interesting to have "non constant" constant expressions...

 Transit Note #93 Toward 21st Century Computing: Transit Perspective
As computing progresses into the 21st century, we seek better performance and lower cost as we always have, but we also seek better integration of computing systems with each other, with their users, and with organizations and society at large.
When we consider aggressive compilers, superscalar machines with out-of-order execution, and parallel computers with speculation, the costs of each operation even in C and Fortran are far from transparent and are not easily modelled.
Compiler writers will want to be sure that the compiler is performing adequately and identify areas where further work is required.

 What is compiler? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
The compiler derives its name from the way it works, looking at the entire piece of source code and collecting and reorganizing the instructions.
In effect, the compiler is the language, because it defines which instructions are acceptable.
Because compilers translate source code into object code, which is unique for each type of computer, many compilers are available for the same language.

 Chapter 2: Advanced HLA Programming   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
The array.index macro computes the address of the specified array element and leaves that address sitting in the 32-bit register you specify as the first argument in the array.index argument list.
During compilation, HLA replaces each of these compile-time functions with a constant that is the result of computing the compile-time function's result.
This means that high level compilers are theoretically capable of producing better code than a high level assembler because the high level language compiler will attempt to optimize the code it produces whereas no high level assembler does that (today, anyway).

The numerical methods employed in the solution of many scientific computing problems require the computation of the gradient of a function f: R{sup n} {yields} R. ADIFOR is a source translator that, given a collection of subroutines to compute f, generates Fortran 77 code for computing the derivative of this function.
Using the so-called torsion problem from the MINPACK-2 test collection as an example, this paper explores two issues in automatic differentiation: the efficient computation of derivatives for partial separable functions and the use of the compile-time reverse mode for the generation of derivatives.
We show that orders of magnitudes of improvement are possible when exploiting partial separability and maximizing use of the reverse mode.
