These are exciting times for computing, where context aware reasoning and domain specific compiler optimizations could represent an entirely new level of computing.

Android engineers at Google added support for the Java and Kotlin programming languages to Compiler Explorer, an open source tool aimed at exploring how compilers work by compiling code in real ...

A just-in-time (JIT) compiler is a program that turns bytecode into instructions that can be sent directly to a computer's processor (CPU). Typically, compiler s are key in deciding the speed of an ...

Many of the compilers for 8-bit CPUs contain great optimizers. However, these optimizers have limits. Simplify expressions when you can. For example, the executable code for Figure 1a will be larger ...

As DSP processors become more and more powerful, the portion of code that can remain at the C level increases. However, compilers cannot produce optimized code without assistance from the programmer.

It wasn’t long ago that we introduced you to a web site, the Godbolt compiler explorer, that allows the visitor to compile code using a slew of compilers and compare their output. We suspect ...

Microsoft Build for OpenJDK adds an experimental compiler optimization that promotes scalar replacement of objects involved in object allocation merges, easing garbage collection and improving ...
