Using the XL Compiler Options to Improve Application Performance
White Paper This paper examines the problem in the context of the new POWER2 and PowerPC 601 implementations in the RS/6000 family of machines, using the new XL compilers that exploit them. Experimentation shows that most applications can achieve a significant... [03 Jul 2008]
Blink: 3D Display Multiplexing for Virtualized Applications
White Paper The researchers developed Blink, a Display System for Virtual Machines, the core component of which is a JIT-compiler for extended OpenGL programs which execute safely inside the address space of the display server. [01 Mar 2008]
Migration of Credit Analysis System of a Major Financial Institution
White Paper The financial institution was facing challenge as the gcc compiler is stricter than sun cc compiler e.g. As a solution Infosys helped the client to migrate the application set seamlessly onto Linux advanced server running on Intel machines. [24 Apr 2007]
Blocking System Calls in KRoC/Linux
White Paper This paper describes an extension to Kent Retargetable occam Compiler (KRoC), which enables the execution of a blocking call, without blocking the occam-kernel. On multiprocessor machines, the clones are quite free to be scheduled on different... [18 Apr 2007]
Canonical looking to beta Microsoft
News To build Bazaar, Canonical hired lead architect Martin Poole, who had also worked on the Linux kernel for HP and who had developed distcc, a compiler that could use several machines to turn the source code written by people into the binary... [10 Apr 2007]
Software Pipelining and Superblock Scheduling: Compilation Techniques for VLIM Machines
White Paper This paper describes an effort to employ both software pipelining and superblock scheduling techniques in a VLIW compiler. Compilers for VLIW and superscalar processors have to expose instruction-level parallelism to effectively utilize the hardware. [25 Feb 2004]
The Limbo Programming Language
White Paper In its initial implementation for the Inferno operating system, object programs generated by the Limbo compiler run using an interpreter for a fixed virtual machine. It is designed for safe execution even on small machines without hardware memory... [25 Feb 2004]
A Manual for the Assembler
White Paper A pointer in A6 is used by the C compiler to point to data, enabling short addresses to be used more often. The assemblers are really just variations of a single program: they share many properties such as left-to-right assignment order for... [25 Feb 2004]
Mixed-Mode Bytecode Execution
White Paper We argue that a highly-optimizing compiler is best deployed with both a fast, less-optimizing compiler and an interpreter. We present measurements showing that such a system can achieve the same peak performance as a system with just the optimizing... [25 Feb 2004]
Apple 'world's fastest' ad banned from UK TV
News Veritest used the same GCC compiler for both machines, with the Dell boxes running the Linux operating system, a move it says allows for the best comparison of hardware performance. Critics charged that higher benchmarks can be achieved using the... [12 Nov 2003]
IT Myths: Buggin' out - the history of a word we all hate
News In the 1940s, Hopper - responsible for inventing the compiler and playing a significant part in the creation of COBOL - was a Naval Reserve, working on the Harvard Mark II computer. The mechanical glitches or 'bugs' that plagued early techies, it... [31 Jul 2003]
